CXone Softphone for Administrators

CXone Softphone is an executable application that allows your agents to use an internet phone to engage in voice interactions with contacts. The original CXone Softphone is a one-time, perpetual license that is assigned to a computer. You cannot move it between computers. It's available for Windows 10 and Mac. CXone Hosted Softphone is the same executable softphone application, but the license is assigned to an agent instead of to a device. You can move the license between Windows 10 computers to support remote agents and hot-desking environments.

The CXone Softphone can only be used with MAX.

To enable CXone Softphone in your environment, contact your CXone Account Representative.
