Internal AE Services licensing overview

Last Updated : Dec 29, 2021 |

An AE Services license provides you with access to the full AE Services functionality.

AE Services supports the following licensing methods:

  • A standard license file is installed on each AE Services server, and the services acquire licenses in that license file through a local WebLM server running on the AE Services server.

  • Multiple AE Services servers acquire feature licenses from a single WebLM server where a standard license file is installed.

  • With enterprise-wide licensing, an enterprise license file is installed on a master WebLM server. You can allocate feature licenses from the enterprise license file to multiple AE Services servers or use the pooled licensing method.

    If network bandwidth on your AE Services and WebLM server is low, Avaya does not recommend using pooled licensing.

If you configured High Availability (HA), you cannot use a virtual IP address with enterprise-wide licensing. You must configure the primary AE Services IP address on the WebLM server for the enterprise license to work properly. If a standby or secondary AE Services server becomes the primary server, you must update the AE Services IP address on the WebLM server manually before the grace period of 30 days expires.
