70% of license warning messages I have seen at my customer sites are due to missing Owner-ID.A common question many of my friends asked, is there a tool to assign Owner-Id on devices. Yes Cisco provide a tool called, Device assignment Tool in short we call it DAT. The tool connects to your system and reads the configured devices that are not assigned to users. Using rules that you select, the tool matches users to unassigned devices. You can review the user-to-device matches, make manual changes if needed, and then apply the results in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
To download DAT tool, please refer my below blog.
