How is the licensing of Webex Meetings structured?
Does each employee who potentially wants to invite to a conference need a separate license? I.e. if 30 employees potentially want to start a video conference, do you need 30 licenses even if they are rarely used at the same time? Is it a rigid or dynamic licensing?

Licensing of Webex Meetings depends on various factors and can be adjusted according to your needs. In general, there are two types of licenses: User licenses and Host licenses.
With a user license, each employee who potentially wants to attend a meeting has their own license. This means that each user needs their own license, regardless of whether they attend meetings regularly or only occasionally. This type of licensing is rather static.
With a host license, on the other hand, the meeting organizer or host has a license regardless of how many people will attend the meeting. This means that there is only a limited number of host licenses and these licenses can be used flexibly.
So it is possible that only a limited number of host licenses are needed even if 30 employees potentially want to start a video conference. However, the actual number of licenses needed depends on the actual number of hosts organizing meetings at the same time.
It is important to note that there are other options and flexibilities in licensing Webex Meetings, depending on the specific needs of the company. It is recommended to contact the provider directly to select the appropriate licensing option.
