Welcome to Sele Training, I am Jason Sele.Ttoday I wanted to show you some
licensing options related to Skype for Business phone and Skype for Business
conferencing. So right here is a list of all of the licenses that we have in our
environment and you'll see that there is an E1 license, there's an E5 without PSTN
conferencing, and then we have separate licenses here for PSTN conferencing, PSTN
consumption domestic and international calling, and just domestic calling. Let me
describe what these do for you. So E1 is a basic entry-level license. It allows
online Word, Excel, PowerPoint in the office apps but it doesn't really give
you much functionality beyond tha. The E5 license is what you need if you're
gonna go all the way with Skype for Business with the phone capability. You
can do E3 plus some additional functionality if you don't want the full
E5 and possibly save some money. The E4 kind of been replaced with E5. It
went away so you can do an E3 with some add-ons to kind of get an E4 or you can
even go with an E2 and add some of the phone capabilities. So you can look at
what the difference is with an E1 through an E5 and it will give you an
idea the functionality. We have the E5 full-blown functional choices there and
in addition to that we have PSTN conferencing so if you have Skype for
Business capability but you want to actually do dial-in conferencing that's
what you need to make that work. This is so that people remotely can connect in
by calling a phone number, get inside of a meeting that you're making available
on your calendar and have that conference call or video call. You don't
actually need that functionality if all the people that you're communicating
with are on your E5 license already because they have that built in so this
is for those external users that will dial in. The PSTN consumption is an
option that you need to have if you're gonna allow long-distance calling and
what it does is it'll lets you purchase a dollar amount. Say a
thousand dollars. Your long-distance charges will bill against that on a
monthly basis and then when you drop down to a trigger point, like two
hundred dollars it will automatically rebill another thousand dollars, send you
an invoice, and reload that so that it can consume against it. You have to have
this if you're gonna allow any long-distance calling and these two are
related so if you're just gonna provide domestic
calling for everybody you can just give them domestic calling PSTN. That allows
people to use a public standard telephone network. In other words when
you call a cell phone, you call somebody's landline, or they call you
that is domestic calling. If you want to add international capability you need
this one. The difference is you can use domestic calling with the consumption
billing but if you have one or a number of people that do a lot of international
calls it might actually be more cost-effective to give them this
domestic and international calling. It becomes a flat rate and includes all the
international calling rather than using the consumption. So that's how those work.
Let's take a look now under an individual user - myself and I'll show you
what the licensing looks like that you assign to a user. So under the product
licenses you'll see I have my E5 without PSTN conferencing and I also have the
PSTN conferencing so for whatever reason they've separated this into two
different purchases. I believe you can purchase it all together. We do them
separate. I have enabled the PSTN consumption billing. I've assigned
domestic calling and you'll note that the domestic and international is not
turned on. That's because I don't do enough international calls to make it
worth having a flat fee for that. Underneath the E5 license there's a
number of components in here. All the typical office 365 options but you'll
also notice there's a Skype for Business cloud PBX and there's a Skype for
Business online plan too. The Skype for business online plan
gives you the ability to do video calls, to do conference calls, to dial anyone,
anywhere. All of that type of communication. The difference between
plan 1 and plan 2 is plan 1 lets you do Instant Messaging. It lets you do Skype
to Skype meetings for audio and video but it won't actually allow you to set
up a scheduled meeting on your calendar, invite external people, allow those to
connect to your conference meeting. That's got to be a plan 2 in order to
get that functionality and it does allow you on the plan 2 up to 250 people to
attend so gives you a pretty good capability. If you go beyond 250 you
probably want to move into more of a broadcast type solution rather than just
the online Skype meeting. The Skype for Business Cloud PBX is what actually
provides you the ability to do call forwarding, simultaneous ringing, keep
track of your calling history, put calls on hold, transfer to other people. It
handles the caller ID. All of those functions that you need for normal voice
capability for a phone system. So you do need the combination of both the cloud
PBX and the Skype for Business Online Plan 2 in order to fully utilize the
phone capabilities of Skype for Business. When you have Skype for Business enabled
with the proper licenses it actually gives you this dial pad and the ability
to dial numbers directly, set up voicemail, or forward calls. And that's
basically the licensing scenarios and how you set users up in order to make
Skype for Business work. Hey if you want to see more videos like this one please
