Norstar Version - IP Office Info

Licenses
Licenses are required for some features of IP Office Essential Edition - Norstar Version operation. The license keys are
entered into the system configuration and are based on the unique Feature Key number of the SD card installed in the
system and the feature being enabled.
· Software Upgrade Licenses
Existing systems being upgraded to IP Office Release 7.0 will require an upgrade license.
· New IP500v2 Systems
For the first 90 days, a new IP500v2 control unit will run any supported IP Office Release without
requiring an upgrade license. The highest level run is written into the system's memory (not the
SD card) and that becomes a permanent entitlement for the control unit. However, after 90 days
the IP500v2 will require an upgrade license if upgraded to a software release higher than any that
it has run in the initial 90 day period.
· Warning
Systems upgraded without the appropriate license will display "No license available" and will not
allow any telephony functions.
· SIP Trunk Channel Licenses
The system can support 3 simultaneous SIP calls without needing licenses. Additional calls, up to 20 in total,
require the addition of licenses 57 to the configuration.
· VCM Channels
Note that for SIP calls the system also requires VCM channels. For a IP Office Essential Edition - Norstar
Version system those are provided by installing IP500 Combination base cards. Each of these cards
provides 10 VCM channels.
· IP500 PRI Channel Licenses
The IP500 PRI 1 trunk daughter card supports the use of its first 8 channels unlicensed. Use of additional
channels require licenses to be added to the configuration. The maximum number of channels depends on the
current Line Sub-Type setting of the PRI trunk.
· Embedded Voicemail Additional Ports
Unlicensed, the embedded voicemail provided by the system supports 2 simultaneous connections and 15
hours of storage. This can be expanded up to 6 channels by the addition of licenses, each of which enables an
additional two channels. For IP Office Release7.0+ each license also enables an additional 5 hours of storage.
· Mobile Worker Licenses
By default only 3 users can be configured to use remote forwarding/mobile twinning features. Additional users
can be enabled by the addition of Mobile Worker licenses to the configuration.
