Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Deployment Guide 60
Managing Device License Keys
Attempting to upgrade a device that requires a license fails if a current upgrade license key is not installed
on the system. Contact Avaya Technical Services if you do not have a license key and need assistance.
All LifeSize video communications systems managed in Avaya Video Conferencing Manager show a key
icon in the far right column of the Devices page. A green key indicates a valid license key. A yellow key
indicates the license key will expire within a month, and a red key indicates an expired license key.
Update license keys manually by clicking the key icon. Or update multiple managed LifeSize video
systems by using a batch file and the Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Administrator utility. Refer to
Administering Avaya Video Conferencing Manager.
