How Licensing Works

Keycode Licensing for the Application Gateway is provided by the Nortel
KRS (Keycode Retrieval System). For information on obtaining a keycode
license, refer to the Application Gateway Quick Start Guide.
The information in this section supplements the Application Gateway
Administration Guide.
Prerequisites for obtaining a license
IP/DN map must exist.
•
The Application Gateway must be synchronized with the
•
Communication Server.
A phone's IP address and primary DN must be in the IP/DN map.
•
The licensing process
Phone connects to the Application Gateway.
•
The Application Gateway uses the phone's IP address to verify that it
•
is in the IP/DN map and then verifies that there is a corresponding
DN.
The Application Gateway registers the phone, adding the phone's
•
MAC address, primary DN, and IP address to the Device Registry.
After a phone has registered with the Application Gateway, its DN
becomes available for inclusion in zones and alert lists. That DN stays
available until the administrator uses the License Monitor to manually
release the license (thereby unregistering the phone).
The Application Gateway issues a license to the phone.
•
Changes that impact licensing
Once a phone is licensed, it holds the license, even when it is idle or
•
disconnected. A license is removed from a phone only through the
administrator's use of the License Monitor to manually release the
license.
If a phone's IP address changes (perhaps based on a DHCP lease
•
expiration), the Application Gateway changes the phone's IP address
in the Device Registry the next time the phone reconnects with the
Application Gateway.
