When ordering licenses you will get an activation key. This activation key is needed by the my.innovaphone.com portal to activate your ordered licenses.
If you have difficulties with the portal, read
My Innovaphone , our wiki article on this topic.
As already mentioned the license is bound to a specific Hardware - ID. You cannot install it on a different device. In case that the innovaphone device is defect or must be replaced for some other reasons, you must move the license to another device.

The General / License page allows administrators to manage(add, delete, download) device licenses. Any changes on the licenses installed on a device, have effect only after a reset of the device.
Also on the license page you will find the option my.innovaphone.com. It enables the device to download or invalidate licenses directly from the my.innovaphone.com portal. Therefore the device must be able to reach the my.innovaphone.com server via the Internet. For the invalidation of licenses the device must have a valid device certificate.

The PBX license model allows to activate PBX features (e.g. Mobility) for just a part of the PBX users and by this doesn't force the customer to choose between buying the license for all users or for none.
The PBX-Administrator can give selected users the
permission to use certain PBX features/licenses. This is done by using the license sub-menu at the PBX-user object. Of course you can use also Config-Templates to automatically configure license settings for a group of users.

innovaphone offers to all its reseller a freely downloadable test license. This license will activate all features of an innovaphone device, but will expire and must be refreshed after 100 hours. For downloading the test licenses you need to have a account at the my.innovaphone.com portal. From my.innovaphone.com you create and download the test licenses.
The test license is a perfect tool for evaluating the needed amount of licenses in an installation. You can download it and use a text editor to delete all unneeded licenses types. This way you can double-check if the licenses you planned to use in the customer installation are sufficient.
