Licensing; Reserving Licenses - Avaya 1600 Series Installation Manual

2.1 Licensing

The following licensing rules apply to the support of Avaya H.323 IP phones on a IP Office system.
·
On IP Office Server Edition systems, the user must be configured to a licensed user profile with a user license such
as the Basic User license. Unlicensed users cannot login to an extension.
·
An Avaya IP Endpoint license is required for each Avaya H.323 IP phones. This includes all 1600, 9600, IP DECT,
DECT R4 and Spectralink.
·
The system will automatically license 12 Avaya IP phones for each IP500 VCM 32 or VCM 64 card installed in
the system without requiring additional licenses to be added to the configuration.
·
Additional Avaya IP phones are licensed either by the addition of Avaya IP Endpoints licenses.
·
By default licenses are consumed by each Avaya IP phone that registers with the IP Office in the order that
they register. The license is released if the phone unregisters. However, it is possible to reserve a license for
particular phones in order to ensure that they phones always obtain a license. This is done through the
Reserve Avaya IP Endpoint Licence setting of each IP extension. On system's using WebLM licensing, this
option is fixed to reserve a license.
·
Avaya IP phones without a license will still be able to register but will be limited to making emergency calls
only (Dial Emergency short code calls). The associated user will be treated as if logged off and the phone will
display "No license available". If a license becomes available, it will be assigned to any unlicensed DECT
handsets first and then to any other unlicensed Avaya IP phone in the order that the phones registered.
Licenses are issued against a unique PLDS Host ID of the server hosting the license file. For IP500 V2 control units, that
number is the Feature Key number of the System SD card fitted to the system prefixed with 11.

2.1.1 Reserving Licenses

This particular process cannot normally be done until the extension entry has been created. If using automatic extension
creation (the default), this means that license reservation cannot be done until after initial installation of the phone.
However, consideration should be given to using this setting with any existing phones already installed in order to ensure
that they retain their licenses if possible following the addition of other phones.
Licenses are normally automatically assigned to extensions in order of registration. However existing extensions can
reserve a license in order to ensure they do not become unlicensed when new extensions added to the system manage to
register first following a system reboot.
·
On system's using WebLM licensing, this option is fixed to reserve a license.
To reserve licenses:
1. Using IP Office Manager, receive the configuration from the telephone system.
2. Select Extension and then select the H.323 extension.
3. Select the VoIP tab.
4. Set the Reserve License field to Reserve Avaya IP endpoint license.
5. Repeat the process for any other extensions for which you want to reserve the license.
6. Save the configuration back to the telephone system.
