Expansion Stages and System Capacity
The software assurance agreement has a fixed runtime and defines the number of authorised users on
the communication system. You can see at a glance whether a valid (active) SWA is available for the
communication server, via the SWA state in the WebAdmin title bar.
The SWA state is retrieved via an encrypted direct link on the licence server. If there is no connection to the
licence server, the last known state is displayed
The number of users covered via SWA and the number of configured users requiring SWA can be seen in
the System information view. SWA becomes invalid if the number of configured users exceeds the number
of users covered via SWA.

Licences

Use of the call manager software requires a licence. The Mitel CPQ application automatically plans the
necessary licences, which are then enabled on the communication server using a licence file.
The licence file contains all the enabled licences. When you purchase a new licence from your authorised
dealer, you obtain a new licence file in return. Upload this file in WebAdmin in the Licences view.
Note:
• A licence file is not transferable to another communication server.
• If you receive a voucher instead of a licence file, log on with your partner login at MiAccess
https://miaccess.mitel.com/and generate the licence file yourself using the EID number. Detailed
instructions about this can be found in the WebAdmin help on the Licences view.

Software
• Software Release
Updating to a new software release requires a licence. A valid software assurance (SWA) entitles you to
upgrade the communication server to a new software level for a specific period., and to operate it with a
specific number of users.
A valid software assurance is the prerequisite for being able to acquire an update licence (Software
Release licence) for a particular software version. Without a valid Software Release licence you can
update the communication server to a new software level, but after four hours of operating time it will
switch over to the restricted operating mode (see
server will switch back to normal operation as soon as you upload a licence file that comprises the
Software Release licence. You do not need to restart the communication server.
