23. Licenses
Many solutions, applications and features on IP Office systems are licensed and only operate when a valid
license is detected. This includes features within IP Office applications running on PCs connected to the IP Office
system.
Licenses are 32 character strings derived from a unique serial number for the IP Office system which will be
using the license. The unique serial number is taken from the Feature Key device fitted to the IP Office system.
· IP500 Smart Card Feature Key
For IP500 IP Office control units, the serial number is based on the Smart Card Feature Key fitted to the
control unit. A Smart Card Feature key is mandatory on all IP500 control units for correct operation of
the unit regardless of whether the unit is using any licenses.
· IP500 V2 SD Card Feature Key
For IP500 V2 control units, the serial number is based on the System SD Card Feature Key fitted to the
control unit. A System SD Card Feature key is mandatory on all IP500 V2 control units for correct
operation of the unit regardless of whether the unit is using any licenses.
There are 4 types of System SD card available, which define the default operating mode:
· System SD CARD A-Law
· System SD CARD Mu-Law
· System SD CARD PARTNER
· System SD CARD NORSTAR
Avaya IP Office Essential Edition License
In IP Office Release 7.0, no license was required to switch from Essential Edition Quick mode, Partner Mode or
Norstar Mode to IP Office Essential Edition Standard Mode.
In Release 8.0+, IP Office Basic Edition, Basic Edition Partner Mode and Basic Edition Norstar Mode continue to
not require licenses. However, upgrading these applications to Essential Edition now requires the Essential
Edition License to be applied to the system.
· The Avaya IP Office Essential Edition License material code is: 267786
The Avaya IP Office Essential Edition License enables Mobile Twinning and one-X Mobile Essential client for all
users and provides four (4) Remote Worker seats. Customers requiring more than four seats will purchase the
Teleworker User package for this capability (which, in this case, requires an upgrade to Preferred Edition). As
well as enabling Mobile Twinning, the Essential Edition license also enables the Mobile Call Control and Mobile
Callback features without requiring a particular licensed user profile.
The Essential Edition is a pre-requisite for Preferred Edition. The Preferred Edition will not work if the Essential
Edition license is not present. New customers attempting to install Preferred Edition will receive an alarm that
an Essential Edition license is required.
Note: The Preferred Edition users will have mobile twinning enabled for all users and retain access to the Avaya
one-X® Mobile Essential for IP Office client features (included with an Essential Edition license).
Avaya IP Office Server Edition License
IP Office Server Edition supports centralized licensing. All the user specific and system specific licenses can be
managed from the primary server that also acts as the centralized licensing server.
The only new license for the IP Office is the new system software license called Server Edition. The feature Key
Serial Number (System ID) is derived from platform hardware.
· The Avaya IP Office Server Edition License material code is: 270397
Feature Keys and Licenses
For licensing, each IP Office control unit must have its own Feature Key and license. The Feature Key associated
with one IP Office system cannot be used to validate the license of another IP Office system.
Since licenses are based on the serial number of the Feature Key, they cannot be moved between systems with
different Feature Keys. If a Feature Key is lost the license will become invalid. If it is necessary to exchange a
Feature Key due to damage or upgrade then the existing key and licenses can be exchanged (license swap)
through the Avaya Direct International (ADI) website (https://adi.avaya.com).
Some licenses enable a number of ports, channels or users. Depending on the particular license, each
supported instance may be consumed either when it is configured for use or alternatively when it is actually
being used. When no further instances of a license are available, further use of the licensed feature is not
allowed.
Typically for port, channel and user licenses, multiple licenses can be added to give a higher number of
supported ports, channels or users. However licenses above the capacity supported by the particular IP Office
control unit will not work.
