Verifying Installed License Key
Once you have finished installing the new License Key, verify that it has been installed:
1. On the License Key page, check that the listed features and capabilities of the newly installed
License Key match those that you ordered.
2. Access the Syslog server and check that the following message appears:
"S/N<serial number> Key Was Updated. The Board Needs to be Reloaded with ini file\n"
If the Syslog server indicates that the License Key was unsuccessfully loaded (i.e., the "SN_"
line is blank), do the following preliminary troubleshooting procedures:
a. Open the License Key file and check that the "S/N" line appears. If it does not appear,
contact the sales representative of your purchased device.
b. Verify that you have loaded the correct file. Open the file and ensure that the first line
displays "[LicenseKeys]".
c. Verify that the content of the file has not been altered.
SBC Capacity Licenses from Fixed License Pool
The device can receive SBC capacity (session) licenses from a centralized pool of SBC resources
managed by AudioCodes One Voice Operations Center (OVOC) management tool. The license
pool is purchased as one bulk license. The OVOC user can then manually allocate SBC licenses
from the pool to devices in the network to meet capacity demands of each device whenever
required. The OVOC user can also de-allocate licenses previously allocated from the pool to
devices.
The OVOC license pool holds a pool of customer-ordered SBC capacity (resource) licenses, which
includes any of the following license types:
■ SBC Sessions (media and signaling)
■ SBC Signaling Sessions
■ SBC Transcoding Sessions
■ SBC Far End Users (FEU) - SBC registrations (number of SIP endpoints that can register with
the SBC)
The device can be upgraded by the license pool with any of the above SBC license types.
If the device has received licenses from OVOC's license pool, the License Key page indicates this
by displaying "License Pool" in the 'Mode' field (see Viewing the License Key on page870). In
addition, you can view the SBC licenses allocated by the license pool under the SBC Capacity
group:
