Chapter 4. Licensing
Vol. IV-4-2 Alcatel-Lucent
CompactFlash Card
The license is held within a CompactFlash card, which is identified by a unique
license serial number (The Compactflash card number is the license number).
This card inserts into the side of the NCC plug-in, or into the rear of an IDU. The
CompactFlash also stores the configuration and support data.
A CompactFlash card can be moved to another 9500 MXC Node or Terminal,
which acquires the licensed capability and configuration data from the previous
Node/Terminal (Terminals must be compatible).
When a license is upgraded, the upgrade is specific to a CompactFlash card.

Node License
From the base 40xE1/16xDS1 license for six RACs, Node capacity is licensed in
“up-to” increments for each RAC in an INU or INUe.
“Up-to” means that each RAC can be configured for any capacity less than or
equal to its dollar value. For example, a 52xE1 license supports configuration of
all lower NxE1 capacities, plus 56xDS1, 3xE3, 3xDS3, 1xSTM1, and 1xOC3.
