Software License Key

The device is shipped with a pre-installed Software License Key, which determines the
device's supported features, capabilities, and available resources. You can upgrade or
change your device's supported features by purchasing and installing a new Software
License Key to match your requirements.
Note:
37.2.1 Obtaining the Software License Key File
Before you can install a new Software License Key, you need to obtain a Software License
Key file for your device with the required features from your AudioCodes representative.
The Software License Key is an encrypted key in string format that is associated with the
device's serial number ("S/N") and supplied in a text-based file.
If you need a Software License Key for more than one device, the Software License Key
file can include multiple Software License Keys (see figure below). In such cases, each
Software License Key in the file is associated with a unique serial number identifying the
specific device. When loading such a Software License Key file, the device installs only the
Software License Key that is associated with its serial number.
