With the introduction of Avaya Solutions Platform R6.0.x there is no longer a specific license key needed as was present with Avaya Solutions Platform 5.1.x and earlier versions running on ESXi. However, it is imperative that customers have a record in PLDS for each and every instance of the server hypervisor as customers and Avaya will be subject to audits to ensure right to use royalties have been paid.
