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 a 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

MultiModule and AlphaNet license

MultiModule

MultiModule over IP

The STENTOFON AlphaCom E MultiModule function makes it possible to increase the capacity of an exchange by adding up to four AlphaCom E exchange cabinets together in a multi-module. The multi-module exchange acts as one node with full integration of all features.

In the multi-module exchange one of the modules will act as master module and the others will be slave modules. The multi-module exchange supports redundancy mode. In case of master-slave communication error, the slave module will fallback to work as an individual exchange serving calls between stations connected directly to the exchange module.

The system is very easy to configure - simply enter the IP address of the slave modules and connect the modules together via a single Ethernet cable.

Licenses are required for each AlphaCom E module, the license key is common for AlphaNet and Multi Module functions. One license is valid for one MAC address and 2, 8, 16 or 30 dynamic lines.
