Centralized licensing

Last Updated : Sep 28, 2023 |

The Centralized Licensing feature is available for most Avaya products. You can use the Centralized Licensing feature to install up to 600 license files for Communication Manager on a single System Manager WebLM server. After installing a license file for a Communication Manager main server on a simplex or a duplex pair, you must link the Communication Manager main server to the license file in WebLM.

The Centralized Licensing feature provides the following advantages:

  • Eliminates the need to install and configure multiple WebLM servers, one for each Communication Manager main server.

  • Eliminates the need to log in to each WebLM server to manage licenses for each Communication Manager main server.

  • Reduces the VMware licensing cost for installing and configuring multiple WebLM OVAs on VMware.

  • Provides a centralized view of license usage for Communication Manager.

Note:

  • The Centralized Licensing feature is optional. Use the Centralized Licensing feature when you have more than one Communication Manager server.
