and Registration
With AltiWare OE 4.5, a new licensing and registration process is
implemented to reduce software piracy. The new licensing is based on two
parts — licensing and registration.

Licensing

The new licensing has two components — a system key which is a physical
device shipped with every copy of OE 4.5. This hardware key is equipped
with a DB 25 connector that is designed to be connected to the parallel
printer port on the AltiServ system running OE 4.5 or later releases of
AltiWare. Optionally, a USB port version of the system key is available for
use on systems ONLY equipped with a USB port. The USB system key is
a special order item.
The second component are the license keys. These include, but are not
limited to Station/Sessions, AltiConsole, AltiView, AltiWeb, Center and
new, optional 4.5 software features such as Advance CallRouter, 30 port
IP, external logger, APC, Voice Recording and Contact Advantage.
For step-by-step instructions on the licensing process, refer to page 66.

Registration

Both licensing components must be registered with AltiGen for the system
to function at full, licensed capacity. This registration includes both
AltiWare systems information, as well as registering dealer, installer, and
end user (customer) data for each AltiGen system installed or upgraded to
4.5 or beyond.
All software must be registered, including AltiServ Office products. No
AltiServ software comes out of the factory pre-registered. All license keys
must be registered to the system key and without proper registration,
the system will function with only 8 extension ports enabled. To support
the new licensing and registration requirement, all copies of OE 4.5
software (new or upgrade) are shipped with a system key.
