Introduction to cm-locale-lv_LV-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers comprehensive Latvian language localization and cryptographic verification for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.x deployments. Released in Q1 2025, it implements Latvia-specific regulatory requirements under the Public Utilities Commission (SPRK) while integrating SHA-512 file integrity validation for enhanced security. The package ensures consistent linguistic formatting across administrative interfaces, endpoint devices, and compliance reports for enterprises operating under Latvian data protection laws.
The software supports Cisco Business Edition 7000 Series clusters and hybrid deployments with Webex Calling, featuring compatibility with VMware ESXi 7.0 U3+ virtual environments and physical UCS C480 M5 servers. Its dual functionality combines locale management with cryptographic security audits – a first in Cisco’s localization packages.
