Hello,
We recently purchased a few VVX 311 (2200-48350-025) phones from Amazon to use with our existing Skype for Business service at our Office.
As soon as I tried to set it up for a user, I noticed it didn't have Skype for Business on the menu available, so I went ahead and updated the firmware from the existing version that came with the phone 5.5.2.9374 to version 5.7.0.14430, which per Polycom's website, it's a version for Skype for Business deployments
The firmware update completed successfully, but I still can't see Skype for Business on the phone's menu. As a matter of fact, it's still grayed out on the Web Utility menu for the device.
After doing some research, I found out that the VVX 311 phones that come with Skype for Business are the ones with serial number 2200-48350-019.
Question, is it possible to make the 2200-48350-025 model work with Skype for Business, or are we going to have to exchange the phones for 2200-48350-019?
As I mentioned before, I already updated the firmware to a version that supposedly enables Skype for Business on the device, but it's not working. I read some documentation that mentions something about an honor-based license from Polycom to make Skype for Business work; I wonder if this is why our firmware upgrade doesn't seem to be working. If that's the case, how do I get this license?
Perhaps, I need to install a more up-to-date version of the firmware?
Your help and comments are appreciated.
Thanks
Victor

Hello Steffen,
Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm, so we do need an honor-based license from Polycom if we wanted to use this 2200-48350-025 model, this is besides the one we already acquired from Microsoft for Skype for Business correct?
I am assuming the 2200-48350-019 model already comes with this license by default? I don't remember us buying any extra licenses when we acquired our existing phones from another provider.
Thanks
Victor

Hello @Victor A,
the -019 PArt Number is a higher price than the -025 which add's the difference for the license.
