2.1.2 Adding Licenses
Use the following procedure to add licenses to the telephone system configuration. You can add multiple (cumulative)
licenses.
You must ensure that the licenses match the Dongle Serial Number
shown
in the system configuration. This should
be shown in the file used to supply the licenses. For B5800 Branch Gateway systems, you must ensure that the licenses
match the PLDS Host ID.
It is recommended that you cut and paste the license keys from a supplied file rather than typing them in manually.
1. Using IP Office Manager, receive the configuration from the telephone system.
2. Select
License. The current licenses in the system configuration are displayed.
For B5800 Branch Gateways, select PLDSLicense.
3. To add a license, click on
and select License.
For B5800 Branch Gateway systems, select PLDSLicense and select Send PLDS license file to Avaya Branch
Gateway.
4. Enter the license that you have been supplied into the field and click OK.
5. The type of the license should be displayed but with its License Status set to Unknown. If the License Type
was not recognized, check that it has been entered correctly.
6. Save the configuration back to the system and then receive the configuration from the system again.
7. The License Status should now be Valid.
2.1.3 Reserving Licenses
This particular process cannot normally be done until the extension entry has been created. If using automatic extension
creation (the default), this means that license reservation cannot be done until after initial installation of the phone.
However, consideration should be given to using this setting with any existing phones already installed in order to ensure
that they retain their licenses if possible following the addition of other phones.
Licenses are normally automatically assigned to extensions in order of registration. However existing extensions can
reserve a license in order to ensure they do not become unlicensed when new extensions added to the system manage to
register first following a system reboot.
1. Using IP Office Manager, receive the configuration from the telephone system.
2. Select
Extension and then select the H.323 extension.
3. Select the VoIP tab.
4. The Reserve Avaya IP endpoint license setting is used to reserve an existing license for the extension.
5. Repeat the process for any other extensions for which you want to reserve the license.
6. Save the configuration back to the telephone system.
