Licenses

Cetain AlphaCom features require a software license key. The license key is linked to the MAC address of the AMC-IP board.

AlphaCom E License Activation Code and Licence Keys

General

Zenitel generates a ‘License Activation Code’ (LAC) which can be regarded as the actual article. In order for Zenitel to be able to generate the actual License Key, the License Activation Code must be registered at Zenitel together with the MAC-address of the AMC-IP card for which the license is intended.

Registration can be done by reporting the MAC-address and LAC in an e-mail to licensing@zenitel.com. More than one LAC can be listed on the registration form. All listed License Activation Codes together with the MAC address will be used to generate a single License Key which will enable all licensed functions.

The License Key will be shipped to the customer’s e-mail address. As the License key is rather complex, it should be inserted in the set-up program using the copy/paste function.

Service

In case of service replacement of an AMC-IP card, all licenses will remain available for a 20-day period. A new lasting license key must be obtained for the new AMC-IP card during this period.

Additional licences

Additional licenses can be purchased at any time. Any new license will be added to already purchased licenses for the same hardware. A new license key will be issued to replace the existing license key; this will cover all the new and old legal licenses.

Licenses

AlphaNet and MultiModule license

AlphaNet and multi-module linking for the AlphaCom XE Audio Servers can be via data networks. This does not require additional hardware inside the server, but opening up the capability requires the correct licence.

Licenses are required in all connected modules and nodes. There is no difference whether a license is used for an AlphaNet or a multi-module connection.

The license gives the number of VoIP channels avaliable simultanous use.

The data links between modules and nodes are not licensed.

Billing License

The Vingtor ACM Billing application requires a license to operate. There are 5 license packages available which also determines the number of simultaneous out-going Billing calls that can be handled.

As of today the Billing trunks uses SIP trunks for out-going calls and the SIP trunks needs their own licenses as well.

In an AlphaNet, several nodes can be activated with a Billing license. Other nodes which have no local Billing license activated can still report and/or make Billing calls to ONE of the nodes which have the Billing license activated.
