Types of license activation
Types of activation include:
• Regular activation: where license entitlements are activated to generate Activation
Records.
• Upgrade activation, which involves either:
• Activating license entitlements that have been marked as upgradeable. When you
activate these license entitlements, you can generate License/Key for either the
current version or the old version.
• Activating upgrade license entitlements, which are purchased to upgrade other
existing license entitlements. When users activate these license entitlements, they
select the license entitlements to upgrade.
Activating license entitlements
Before you begin
Host ID of each B5800 Branch Gateway.
About this task
Use the License Activation Code (LAC) to activate one or more license entitlements. You may
choose to activate all of the licenses or specify the number of licenses that you want to activate
from the quantity available. Upon successful activation of the license entitlements, PLDS
creates an Activation Record and sends an Activation Notification e-mail message to the
customer that is registered with the entitlements. The Activation Record and Activation
Notification provide details on the number of activated licenses and the B5800 Branch Gateway
system. The license file can be accessed on the License/Keys tab of the Activation Record in
PLDS and is also an attachment to the Activation Notification e-mail message. You need to
install the license file on each B5800 Branch Gateway to use the licenses.
