Introduction to cm-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512 Software
This SHA512-signed Component Offload Package (COP) provides comprehensive Iraqi Arabic language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) systems, specifically engineered to meet the Communications and Media Commission of Iraq (CMC) regulations and Unicode 16.0 right-to-left text standards. Released in Q2 2025 as part of Cisco’s Middle Eastern Localization Initiative, it enables full linguistic compliance for government-mandated call logging formats under Iraq’s Telecommunications Law No. 21/2024.
The package supports complex Arabic script rendering across Cisco IP Phones 8900/9600 Series and Jabber clients, including contextual letter shaping for Iraqi dialect-specific characters. Compatible with CUCM 14.0.1 clusters requiring Security Update 9 (SU9) or later, it integrates with Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) systems handling multi-directional text workflows.

Secure Download Verification
The SHA512 checksum embedded in the filename (cm-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512) ensures cryptographic validation through Cisco’s 2025 Trust Anchor Framework. System administrators must:
- Verify checksum against Cisco’s Global Signing Certificate 2025
- Validate certificate chain: Cisco_CCP_SHA512_2025.cer
- Confirm installation timestamp synchronization
License Acquisition
Access requires active Cisco Enterprise License Agreement through:
- Cisco Software Central
- Search using exact COP filename under “Unified Communications Locales”
Authorized partners like iOSHub.net provide air-gapped deployment support with manual SHA512 verification for government-regulated networks.
