48.3 Upgrading SBC Capacity Licenses by License Pool
Manager Server
The device can receive SBC capacity (session) licenses from a centralized pool of SBC
resources managed by the License Pool Manager Server running on AudioCodes EMS.
The License Pool Manager Server can dynamically allocate and de-allocate SBC licenses
from the pool to devices in the network to meet capacity demands of each device,
whenever required. The License Pool Manager Server 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 Manager Server with any of the above
SBC license types.
You can view the SBC licenses allocated by the License Pool Manager Server in the
License Key page under the SBC Capacity group:

License Pool Manager or locally on the device by the management user).

(port 443) and SNMP. If a firewall exists in the network, make sure that ports for these
