User Licensing
ShoreTel 6.1 offers three user license types:
• Extension and mailbox
• Extension-only
• Mailbox-only
These new choices allow users to request a phone extension license without having to
purchase a mailbox at the same time. This additional flexibility may be helpful in
situations where a fax machine, a modem, or a lobby phone is desired and a mailbox for
voice mail was not needed. Similarly, users can purchase a mailbox without having to
purchase a phone extension.
NOTE Earlier releases of the ShoreTel product offered Single Site and Multi-Site
Enterprise license keys. In this release, the Single Site key is no longer available.
For existing users, the Single Site key can still be used and will be renamed as a
"Single Site Extension and Mailbox" license. Previous Multi-Site Enterprise keys
become "Extension and Mailbox" licenses.
Purchasing User Licenses
Each user must be configured with one of those three license types. A license must be
purchased for each user, based upon the needs of that user. To see if an installation is in
compliance with the number of licenses purchased, all Extension-Only, Mailbox-Only,
and Mailbox-and-Extension users are counted and compared against the sum of the
licenses purchased.
• Extension and mailbox: Purchase of this license entitles the user to be assigned to
both a physical extension and a ShoreTel mailbox.
• Extension-only: Purchase of this license entitles the user to be assigned to a
physical extension, either via explicit assignment or via Office Anywhere.
• Mailbox-only: Purchase of this license allows the user to be assigned to a ShoreTel
voice mail-box.
Language Licenses
ShoreTel 6.1 supports Spanish, UK English, French, and German languages in addition
to US English (which will remain the default language for new installations). One or
more languages can be running at a site by purchasing a language license.
If only one language is needed at a single site, there is no need to purchase a language
license. If Spanish or German is selected, the default language (English) must be
disabled.
For instructions on configuring the User Licenses or Language Licenses via Director,
please refer to the ShoreTel 6.1 Administration Guide.
