Upgrading From R4.1.15 and Later Versions
If you are running R4.1.15 or a later release of R4.1, you can enter the
R4.2 license key and then upgrade. When you enter the license key, the
system software accepts the license key as valid for an unknown feature.
When you upgrade and reboot to R4.2, the license for R4.2 takes effect.
Upgrading From Release 4.2
If you are running R4.2 and you upgrade to a new software version, the
final step is to reboot the system specifying the new release. At that time,
the software verifies that you have the proper license installed. If you
have installed the license prior to the reboot, the upgrade is completed.
If you have not installed the correct license prior to the reboot phase of
the upgrade, the system provides a warning message and guidance on
the appropriate action for you to take.
If you reboot the system without installing the required license, the
system remains operational with these restrictions:
the NBX NetSet utility is not available.
■
Each telephone display panel periodically displays a NO LICENSE
■
message.
Auto discovery is turned off for all device types.
■
Voice mail messages are not allowed.
■
The Automated Attendant software is not operational.
■
The ability to configure user groups and Automated Attendants from
■
a telephone is not operational.
If you use a terminal emulation software application, such as
■
Hyperterm, to connect a PC to the system COM1 port, the system
sends a message to the Hyperterm application to indicate that a
required software license has not been installed.
If you log on using the administrator ID and password, a window appears
giving you two options:
You can click the Reboot button to go to a reboot window and reboot
■
to a previous software release.
You can click the License button to go to a license window and enter a
■
license key for R4.2.
