Licensing in IC-EDGE

Some Pulse features require a software license key. The license key is linked to the MAC address of the Pulse Server.

This article describes the "Generation 3" licening, supported by Turbine stations ver. 4.7 and higher. For licenseing in previous versions of Turbine software, and for the INCA Station platform, see Pulse Licensing - Generation 1 and 2.

Pulse License Activation Code and License 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 station that serves as a Pulse server.

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.

Inserting the license key

• Obtain the license key from your STENTOFON supplier
• Log on to the web page of the Pulse Server station
• Select Station Administration > Licensing
• Press the Insert License button
• Enter the 24 or 36 character key string in the New License field
• Accept the Terms and Conditions by pressing "Yes"

Free License period

Pulse comes with a 60-day Grace period where all the functions can be tested without the need to purchase any license. Total available clients and trunks can be configured. Grace timer starts running when station is connected for first time. Timer is running only when station is running. Factory reset and firmware upgrade will not reset the Grace period timer.
