11.7 Software Upgrade Key
The gateways are supplied with a Software Upgrade Key already pre-configured for each
of its TrunkPack Modules (TPM).
Users can later upgrade their gateway's features, capabilities and quantity of available
resources by specifying what upgrades they require, and purchasing a new key to match
their specification.
The Software Upgrade Key is sent as a string in a text file, to be loaded onto the gateway.
Stored in the device’s non-volatile flash memory, the string defines the features and
capabilities allowed by the specific key purchased by the user. The device allows users to
utilize only these features and capabilities. A new key overwrites a previously installed key.
Note: The Software Upgrade Key is an encrypted key. Each TPM utilizes a
unique key. The Software Upgrade Key is provided by AudioCodes only.
11.7.1 Backing up the Current Software Upgrade Key
Back up your current Software Upgrade Key before loading a new key to the device. You
can always reload this backed-up key to restore your device capabilities to what they
originally were if the ‘new’ key doesn’t comply with your requirements.
¾ To backup the current Software Upgrade Key, take these 5 steps:
1. Access the devices Embedded Web Server (refer to Section 5.3 on page 58).
2. Click the Software Update button.
3. Click the Software Upgrade Key tab; the Software Upgrade Key screen is displayed
(shown in Figure 11-9).
4. Copy the string from the 'Current Key' field and paste it in a new file.
5. Save the text file with a name of your choosing.
11.7.2 Loading the Software Upgrade Key
After receiving the Software Upgrade Key file (do not modify its contents in any way),
ensure that its first line is [LicenseKeys] and that it contains one or more lines in the
following format:
S/N<Serial Number of TPM> = <long Software Upgrade Key>
For example: S/N370604 = jCx6r5tovCIKaBBbhPtT53Yj...
One S/N must match the S/N of your device. The device’s S/N can be viewed in the
‘Device Information’ screen (refer to Section
5.7.4 on page 113).
