IP Office Essential Edition
Additional Processes:
5.1 Adding Licences
License keys strings are used to activate various IP Office features of the IP Office Essential Edition -
PARTNER® Version system.
Each license is a unique 32-character string based on the feature being licensed and the serial number of the
SD
card
plugged into the system control unit. It is recommended that you use the Import control to import licenses. Alternatively
the license keys can be cut and pasted into the Key field. Entering licenses manually is liable to errors caused by mis
keying of the correct 32-character string.
This dialog is reached by selecting System | License Management from the Manager Admin Tasks pane. It is used
to enter licenses required for additional telephone system features. For example licenses are used to enable additional
voicemail ports or the twinning feature.
·
Import
Import licenses from a CSV file. Each line of the file should contain a license name and the 32-character license
key, each separated by a comma.
·
Export
Export the licenses to a CSV file. (Only if exportable licenses are present on the system)
