We currently have 2 G450's and a HP server providing service to about 200 customers. We are looking at buying a S8300 card for local survivability for the gateways. Am I going to need another set of licenses for the S8300? What am I going to need to look for in our current setup to enable SLS? We mostly use the system for Pots and Digital phone use. We have a Pri on V1 of gateway 1 and a SIP trunk on V1 on gateway 2. The SIP trunk isn't being used at this time.

Requirments for installing a S8300 for local survivability on a G450

I'm not sure how you have a SIP trunk on v1 of the 2nd G450 unless it's delivered through some SIP/PRI gateway and comes in on a T1 in your G450.
If you're going to have an LSP, that's way better than SLS.
The S8300/LSP, as long as you're not on 5.2, shouldn't need its own license officially. At least I've got plenty of 8300s without them.

Yeah the contractor put a sip trunk on our second gateway and tied it to an adtran for long haul transport. We currently have no traffic routed to it so it's just sitting idle. We're running CM6 so hopefully any licensing issues won't come up. Are there any pre-requisites for adding an S8300?
Well, the S8300 would only work in V1, so you'd have to change your trunks on one of those gateways.
But, as far as I've seen on LSPs on 6.3, they don't need licenses on the survivable servers.
In page 4 of system-parameters customer-options, you might see:
ESS Administration? y
I'm not sure if that's the same thing for LSPs, but it'd be the same command do add one - add survivable-processor. To say, if you can add a survivable processor in your main core, then you should be OK license-wise to add an LSP. Unless someone knows of any other restrictions, I think you'd be OK.
