Provisioning licenses
There is a limit to the number of devices that can be provisioned concurrently by the Provisioning Server.
VCS and Cisco TMS manage the number of available provisioning licenses by exchanging information
through the Cisco TMSPE Devices service. If the Devices service is not active, the VCS's Provisioning
Server will not be able to provision any devices.
The VCS is provided with the current number of free licenses available across the range of VCS clusters
being managed by Cisco TMS, and the VCS updates Cisco TMS with the status of provisioning licenses
being used by this VCS (or VCS cluster). License limits can be managed at a per device type basis.

Note that some devices, including Jabber Video 4.x, do not inform the VCS when they sign out (unsubscribe)
from being provisioned. The VCS manages these devices by applying a 1 hour timeout interval before
releasing the license.
Provisioning and device authentication
The Provisioning Server requires that any provisioning or phone book requests it receives have already been
authenticated at the zone or subzone point of entry into the VCS. The Provisioning Server does not do its
own authentication challenge and will reject any unauthenticated messages.
