Howto:How to obtain a test license

In Version 5, there were PBX test licenses available for a limited scenario.

Unfortunately, these have been used in questionable ways sometimes so they have been removed in V6.

Also, the V6 licensing scheme is much more versatile, so a new scheme has been implemented.

Here is how Test Licenses in V6 do work.

Problem Details

To satisfy the need for test licenses for the innovaphone devices, a new web based scheme has been implemented.

As opposed to Version 5 firmware, where there were test licenses for PBX Registration licenses only, in V6 there are test licenses for any license type.

In V6, all licenses are bound to a specific mac address.

Test licenses – as all others - thus must be bound to a specific device.

No “wildcard” licenses are available. As a result, each test license must be requested individually for each device.

A test license is requested via a web page found on the innovaphone download area.

It will contain any possible license type with virtually no limitations in number (e.g. a test license will allow up to 10k PBX registrations).

The only limitation of the test license is that the device will stop functioning after 100 hours.

You can extend the test period though by confirming the test usage on the devices web interface,

The test licenses is structured as a set of multiple, additive licenses.

You are encouraged to tailor the licenses for your test such that it reflect the actual type and number of licenses you intend to purchase later on.

This will ensure that the system will behave as you expect and experienced during the trial!

To obtain a test license, go to the V6 download site (http://download.innovaphone.com/6.00) and click the respective link on the upper right corner (you cannot link to this page directly, as it will only work once you are authenticated using your ice password).
