Hi,

You can do this with agents.
Give every SIP phone it's own sip.conf entry, and every user
it's own agent code.
In your dialplan, call the users with: Dial(Agent/userX)

As soon as a user logs in from another phone (cisco or
softphone), the old phone will be logged out automatically
(that's what I experienced here), so you dont have to worry
about users not logging off from a phone.

Good luck
