38.2.2.2 Installing Software License Key using AcBootP
The following procedure describes how to install a Software License Key using
AudioCodes AcBootP utility.
Notes:
•
When loading the Software License Key file, a cmp file must also be loaded during
this BootP process.
•
For more information on using the AcBootP utility, refer to the document AcBootP
Utility User's Guide.
To install a Software License Key using the AcBootP utility:
1.
Change the file extension name of the Software License Key file from .txt to .ini.
2.
Place the Software License Key file in the same folder in which the device's cmp file is
located.
3.
Start the AcBootP utility.
4.
Click the Client Configuration tab, and then from the 'INI File' drop-down list, select
the Software License Key file.
5.
From the 'BootP File' drop-down list, select the device's cmp file.
6.
Configure the initial BootP/TFTP parameters as required, and then click Apply.
7.
Reset the device; the cmp and Software License Key files are loaded to the device.

Software Upgrade Wizard
The Web interface's Software Upgrade Wizard lets you easily upgrade the device's
software version (.cmp file). The wizard also provides you the option to load other files
such as an ini file and auxiliary files (e.g., Call Progress Tone / CPT file). However, loading
a .cmp file is mandatory through the wizard and before you can load any other type of file,
the .cmp file must be loaded.
The wizard can also upgrade devices set up in High Availability (HA) mode. You can
choose between two optional HA upgrade methods:
System Reset Upgrade (non-Hitless): Both the active and redundant blades are
upgraded simultaneously. Therefore, this method is traffic-affecting and terminates
current calls during the upgrade process. The process is as follows:
1.
The active (current) blade loads the .cmp file.
2.
The active blade sends the .cmp file to the redundant blade.
3.
Both active and redundant blades install and burn the file to flash memory with a
reset. In other words, no HA switchover occurs.
Hitless Upgrade: The blades are upgraded without disrupting traffic (i.e., current calls
are maintained). The process is as follows:
1.
The active (current) blade loads the .cmp file.
2.
The active blade sends the .cmp file to the redundant blade.
3.
The redundant blade installs and burns the file to its flash memory with a reset.
The redundant blade now runs the new software version.
4.
An HA switchover occurs from the active to redundant blade. Therefore, current
calls are maintained and now processed by the previously redundant blade,
which is now the active blade.
