Licensing (Zenitel Connect Pro)

Introduction

Zenitel Connect Pro is a licensed product which can be delivered in 2 ways:

Preinstalled on ICX-510 hardware.
As an OVA-image which can be installed as a Virtual Machine - the use of the software is licensed (see license overview further down in this article).

Connected devices require a license and some features also have their own license requirement.

From factory there is a 20-day free license period during which all features can be used without the need of any license.
When the free license period expires, it is no longer possible to use Zenitel Connect Pro to make calls, or use any other of the communication features. It is still possible to log in onto the web GUI and make changes to the configuration.
The configuration will remain intact and once Zenitel Connect Pro is licensed appropriately, it will start to function again.

Licenses and system configuration

Licensing a system which is operating in the free license period

A system can be fully configured and tested in the free license period. At license activation, Zenitel Connect Pro checks whether the license covers all configured devices and features. Zenitel Connect Pro will display a warning if more devices or features are configured than covered by the license. In such a scenario there are 2 options:

Reduce the configuration to match the license
Purchase additional licenses to cover all configured devices and features

Configuring new features or devices in an already licensed system

In a licensed system it is only possible to configure additional devices and features if they are already covered by the existing license. An additional license must be purchased if more devices and/or features need to be configured.
