38.3 Upgrading SBC Capacity Licenses by License Pool
Manager Server
The device can receive SBC capacity (session) licenses from a centralized pool of SBC
resources managed by the License Pool Manager Server running on AudioCodes OVOC.
The License Pool Manager Server can dynamically allocate and de-allocate SBC licenses
from the pool to devices in the network to meet capacity demands of each device,
whenever required. The License Pool Manager Server holds a pool of customer-ordered
SBC capacity (resource) licenses, which includes any of the following license types:

SBC Sessions (media and signaling)

SBC Signaling Sessions

SBC Transcoding Sessions

SBC Far End Users (FEU) - SBC registrations (number of SIP endpoints that can
register with the SBC)
The device can be upgraded by the License Pool Manager Server with any of the above
SBC license types.
You can view the SBC licenses allocated by the License Pool Manager Server in the
License Key page under the SBC Capacity group:
Figure 38-14: Sessions from License Pool Manager Server
The number of sessions received from the License Pool Manager Server are displayed
under the "remote" column while the sessions from the locally installed License Key are
displayed under the "local" column. The far-right column displays the total sessions, which
is the summation of the remote and local sessions. However, the total sessions is only
updated once the remote license is applied to the device with a reset (initiated by the
License Pool Manager or locally on the device by the management user).
Communication between the device and License Pool Manager Server is through HTTPS
(port 443) and SNMP. If a firewall exists in the network, make sure that ports for these
applications are opened. The connectivity status with the License Pool Manager Server is
displayed in the top section of the License Key page, as shown in the example below:
