How TeleVantage licenses affect system behavior _____________
It is strongly recommended that you enter all of your licenses and activate them immediately
after installing the TeleVantage Server, as described on page 10-16. Also, if you add licenses to
a previously-activated system (for example, adding 10 new Trunk licenses), you must activate
again. In either case, activating licenses immediately avoids all of the disruptions (described
below) that occur before licenses are activated.
For more about license activation, see page D-3.
Before your licenses are activated
You can use your TeleVantage system for 60 days without activating your licenses. The 60-day
grace period starts on the day you enter the licenses using the TeleVantage Administrator. You
can activate your licenses at any time during or after the 60 days.
Until you activate your licenses, starting any TeleVantage workstation application will pause at
the splash screen, to remind you of the number of days left. Users must click
OK to continue
running the application.
After your licenses are activated
Once you activate your TeleVantage licenses, the 60-day grace period is eliminated and your
system is fully licensed. All of theTeleVantage workstation applications are fully enabled, and
remain so unless the hardware ID you choose stops operating or is removed.
