Licensing
Introduction
8.2 Introduction
Versions 5.0 and later of HiPath 3000 and HiPath 5000 use a new, centralized licensing proce-
dure known as HiPath License Management. The procedure is used in all HiPath products, for
example communication systems, workpoint clients, and applications.
To license a product you must first establish a connection with the Central License Server (CLS)
via the Customer License Manager (CLM). The customer-specific data entered is used to
uniquely identify the product configuration for which the relevant license file is to be supplied in
encrypted format. The license file contains the licenses for all products which are subject to
mandatory licensing.
The CLM is responsible for activating the license file and allocating it to the Customer License
Agent (CLA). This is where the license data is validated. Distribution of the licenses to the indi-
vidual products using HiPath 3000 Manager E can then begin.
