Downloading License and Avaya Authentication
Files
Use the License File Remote Feature Activation (RFA) to obtain the license and Avaya
authentication files. RFA is a Web-based application, available to Avaya employees and
authorized Business Partners, that enables the creation and deployment of license files for all
switches. The license file enables the switch's software category, release, features, and
capacities. License files are created using SAP order information and/or current customer
configuration information.

The system generates a major alarm.

• Depending upon the nature of the error, a 6-day countdown timer starts, but call
processing continues uninterrupted.
• If the countdown timer expires, the switch runs in Administration Mode only, and the
call processing capability is limited to incoming and outgoing calls only to
pre-administered numbers.
NOTE:
The init login no longer has the capability to change the customer options, offer option, or
special applications forms.
• Access to Avaya Call Processing is restricted; the switch does not provide normal call
processing.
