Reference7:Licenses

Licenses are used on the innovaphone gateways to enable specific features so that the customers have to pay for features only, which they actually use. There are 3 different types of licenses: For the Gateway (Relay), the PBX and DECT.

Gateway Licenses

Channels	Enables the use of the number of DSP channels as specified in the license. A DSP channel is needed for each call to a ISDN interface, an analog Interface or a conference interface. If no license is availabe the call is rejected.
BRIs	Enables the use of a ISDN Basic Rate Interface. Only licensed interfaces are displayed in the user interface and can be used for calls. Which interface is enabled is chosen by a default sequence. If other interfaces are desired, interfaces can be disabled, which means they do not consume a license.
PRIs	Enables the use of a ISDN Primary Rate Interface. Only licensed interfaces are displayed in the user interface and can be used for calls. Which interface is enabled is chosen by a default sequence. If other interfaces are desired, interfaces can be disabled, which means they do not consume a license.
Gatekeeper7	Enables the Gatekeeper functionality on Version 7. Which means the Gateway VOIP interface type 'Gatekeeper/Registrar' is available.

PBX Licenses

PBX7#n<@m>	PBX Base License. 'n' defines the total number of registrations allowed on the PBX. With @m another Base license with a limit of m can be upgraded to n.
Registrations	The number of endpoints which can be registered at the PBX. A gateway or phone with multiple registrations count as multiple endpoints. For regitrations which happen because of a failover situation no such license is needed.
SoftwarePhones	License to use an innovaphone Software Phone.
Operators	License to use the innovaphone operator software.
Voicemail#n@m	License to use the innovaphone voicemail script. 'n' must be at least the same as the PBX Base license.

PBX Slave License

With a special Base license (PBX7#0) a slave/standby PBX is enabled to obtain all licenses from the master. If this option is used on the master Base and Registration licenses need to be installed for the total number of endpoints in the system. For a standby PBX an extra license is needed.

Slaves with locally installed licenses can be mixed with Slaves obtaining their licenses from the master.

A slave/standby stores the received license in flash memory so it can still operate even if the master is not available.

License updates between master and slaves are sent in intervals of approximatly 10min to limit the bandwidth usage. Because of this it may happen that temporarily more licenses can be used then actually available.

OEM Licenses

A PBX OEM License is a license which allows only endpoints to be registered at the PBX with a product Id indicating the OEM. An OEM license has the format Registrations.<OEM>=n. <OEM> indicates the beginning of the product id sent to the PBX when the endpoints register.

Standby/Redundancy

The standby license is included in the OEM license. For a standby configuration it may be necessary to register interfaces from standby gateways at the PBX. For this purpose a license which allows 20 registrations from gateways of the same type is added also. This license does not support a configuration in which as standby a different gateway is used (e.g. IP302 as standby for IP800 is NOT supported).

Voicemail

The Voicemail license cannot be used together with the OEM license

Upgrade to full license

For the upgrade to a full innovaphone PBX license a basic license for the full number of endpoints has to be installed. Registration licenses are only needed for the other endpoints. (E.g. if 90 OEM endpoints and 10 other endpoints shall be used a basic license of 100 and a Registration license of 10 is needed)

DECT Licenses

Multicell

The Multicell license enables the Multicell master and defines the System Identification (ARI) on the wireless side.
