A professional license of Webex Calling entitles a user to multiple devices. However, if that user wishes to hot desk, the device they log in to also needs a license. This creates a doubling up of licenses for companies who want to encourage hot desking.
It should be possible for a device to register to Webex Calling without common area functionality. Purely to sit there waiting for someone to log in.
This is definitely on the roadmap, with a target of 1H CY 2023. The specific requirements are still being discussed, but this will likely be a hotdesking-only workspace license that does not require a Webex Calling workspace license. Please visit the Collaboration roadmap on SalesConnect for more information. You can find additional information on Webex Calling Coming Soon as the release date approaches.

In effect, the desire is that any device loaded into a customers' CH inventory should be available for any user to log in to for hot desking/hotelling purposes. (i.e. any licensed user should be able to come into an office that is entirely hot-desk oriented and login to the handset on any available desk)

I agree with the comment above, other vendors dont charge for Hotdesking so any professional user should have the Hot Desking / Hotelling entitement as part of the Pro Licence.
