Viewing the status of licenses on your system
The status of the licenses on your system is displayed in the splash screen and About dialog box
for any of the TeleVantage workstation applications. On the splash screen licenses have not yet
been activated on the system, the number of days left in the 60-day grace period is also
displayed.
About entering licenses ___________________________________
You use the TeleVantage Administrator to enter licenses into your system. There are two ways
to enter licenses:
Q Enter licenses manually. For details, see “Entering and activating your TeleVantage
licenses” on page 10-16.
Q Import licenses from a license file. For details, see “Importing license information”
on page D-7.
About activating licenses__________________________________
Activating your TeleVantage licenses does the following:
Q Eliminates the 60-day grace period so your system is fully operational.
Q Disables on-screen messages and telephone warnings that occur before licenses are
activated and when using trial licenses. See “How TeleVantage licenses affect system
behavior” on page D-1 for more information about how systems behave before and after
licenses are activated, and when using trial licenses.
Q Locks the licenses to your TeleVantage Server hardware so they cannot be used on more
than one system at the same time.
Activation consists of the following steps:
1. You submit your license and hardware information to Vertical using one of the
methods described in the next section.
2. Vertical verifies the information and locks your licenses to a hardware ID on your
TeleVantage Server.
3. Activated licenses are returned to you and applied to your TeleVantage system.
Note:
When you activate licenses, the license information you submit to Vertical is verified and
saved for future troubleshooting purposes.
