System Licensing Requirements
Software licensing controls device capacity and feature availability on the Inter-Tel 5000
platform. Licensing is associated with a system by means of a security key that inserts into a
recessed USB slot located on the front of the unit chassis.
Inter-Tel 5000 platforms are delivered without software licensing. Licenses are generated and
downloaded from the Inter-Tel License Management Center (LMC) Web site and then loaded
onto the platform before installing the system. By default, unlicensed Inter-Tel 5000 platforms
can be programmed with the capabilities of fully provisioned systems. However, if the applicable
licenses are not provided and authenticated within four hours, the system invokes a reset.
If the system does not have a software license, Alarm 125 is sent to the LCD panel on the unit
chassis and to the administrator endpoint. This alarm is generated every 5 minutes, and the
system resets every 4 hours until the license issue is resolved. For detailed information about
system alarms, refer to the Message Print Diagnostics Manual, part no. 550.8018.
If DB Programming connects to a system with a valid software license, you cannot restore a
database that would invalidate the license. If you need to change the product type, you must
first load a new software license through DB Programming. For details, refer to the Inter-Tel
5000 Features and Programming Guide (part no. 580.8006).

USB Security Key

The USB security key uniquely identifies a system by storing an Inter-Tel Master License. Only
the specific software license that has been digitally signed with the Master License data is
allowed to control the system. The key stores the essential components of the software
licensing scheme.

operation. Multi-protocol endpoints include Models 8600, 8620, 8622, 8662, and 8690.
Multi-protocol endpoints require software licenses.

NOTE allow an administrator to program selected system data, act as the Attendant
for unsupervised CO recalls, receive system alarm messages, etc.

5200/5400/5600 Base Server, single line endpoints can be installed with IP-SLA devices,
