Basic Licensing question 1

[mattKnight]

Warning - newbie alert!

Does a licence file add to the exiting feature set, or does the licence replace the exiting set?

An example may make my question clearer!

If I have a system licensed for 150 IP handsets and wish to add say 20 more, I need a license upgrade...

I get a license file from the BP which is to provide the extra extensions, does this file contain the licence codes for 170 IP stations and the previously purchased PBX features or simply another 20 extensions, or even some other permutation?

Thanks

A new license replaces the old license.
in your case, 150 should change to 170

But, it's possible when replacing an old license with a new license that other things can be enabled, disabled, or incremented and decremented.

Do a printout before and after to be sure.

The license file should always reflect the total. You don't add multiple license files together (when looking at it from a single product line). If your total should be 170 your new license file should be for 170.

You can install multiple licenses to a WebLM server for multiple products. For instance I can load an AES license and a Speech Access License onto a system and will end up showing the number of licenses for each product. If I load another AES license on the same system my AES licenses will change to reflect the new number in my new file.

I am sorry to land back on this one but I am still confused.

Maximum Concurrently Registered IP stations XX YY

XX is the maximum that the system can physically support (or is the licenced maximum)

yy is the current active registered phones...

and in Maximum IP Registrations by product ID

I have the same values of XX and YY

I can't see any values in the sys-param cust-options that relate to the number of IP phones I *think* I have licenced...#

Is there a simple document that explains licencing and the different models?

Aarghh!

I've found it now
Strangely enough - under the Total Licenced Capacity Screen!

Thanks for putting me close enough

I see that, but my system limit is 18000.

Station and Trunk Ports:    321   43679    44000
       Station Capacity:    201     462      663


and

                                Currently            System

                               -----------------------------
             IP Stations:       136      17864     18000
IP Stations in TTI State:         4          -         -

If I understand this correctly - I can add up to 18000 IP extensions this is the hard limit but I need extra licences. I have licences for up to 663 IP phone and only need to supply hardware...

od have I got it entirely wrong
