Installation, Configuration, and Licensing
4.3 Licensing
The following licensing capabilities are supported in this release:
Host-based licensing
The license is associated with a particular machine based on the machine’s MAC
address (Host ID).
Note: If you have a board in the system, then a host-based license will not work
(board-based licensing has a higher priority than host licensing).
Board-based licensing
If you are using one or more of the supported Dialogic
®
boards, the license can be
associated with one of the boards in the system based on the board’s serial number.
Locking the license to a board allows you to transfer the license to another host by
moving the board to that host.
Additive licensing
To increase licensed resources or scale system capability, you can augment an
existing license with multiple licenses. The licenses must meet the following criteria:
• All licenses must have an additive capable version (version 110 or above)
• All licenses must be located in the same single directory.
• All license files in the designated directory must be of the same type; that is, all
licenses must be either OEM, DNI or HOST.
If any of the above conditions are not met, then licensing validation will fail.
Note: When asking for a new additive license file, use the Product Center calculator
to determine if the sum of all features is within the capacity of the system.
