a.  In the 'Load Upgrade Key file' field, click the Browse button and navigate to 
the folder in which the Software Upgrade Key text file is located on your PC. 
b.  Click the Load File button; the new key is loaded to the device and 
validated. If the key is valid, it is burned to memory and displayed in the 
'Current Key' field. 
5.  Verify that the Software Upgrade Key file was successfully loaded to the device, by 
using one of the following methods: 
•  In the ‘Key features’ group, ensure that the features and capabilities activated by 
the installed string match those that were ordered. 
•  Access the Syslog server (refer to the Product Reference Manual) and ensure 
that the following message appears in the Syslog server: 
"S/N___ Key Was Updated. The Board Needs to be Reloaded with ini file\n". 
6.  Reset the device; the new capabilities and resources are active. 
 
 
Note: 
If the Syslog server indicates that the Software Upgrade Key file was 
unsuccessfully loaded (i.e., the 'SN_' line is blank), do the following 
preliminary troubleshooting procedures: 
1. 
Open the Software Upgrade Key file and check that the S/N line 
appears. If it does not appear, contact AudioCodes. 
2.  Verify that you’ve loaded the correct file. Open the file and ensure that 
the first line displays [LicenseKeys]. 
3.  Verify that the content of the file has not been altered.
