Licenses
For systems not running in subscription mode, licenses are required for each IP extension.
On IP Office Server Edition systems, the user must be configured to a licensed user profile with a user license such as the Basic User license. Unlicensed users cannot login to an extension.
For Avaya phones, an Avaya IP Endpoint license is required for each phone. This includes all 1600, 9600, IP DECT, DECT R4 and Spectralink.
For non-Avaya IP phones, a Third-Party IP Endpoint license is required.
By default licenses are consumed by each Avaya IP phone that registers with the IP Office in the order that they register. The license is released if the phone unregisters. However, it is possible to reserve a license for particular phones in order to ensure that they phones always obtain a license. This is done through the Reserve Avaya IP Endpoint License setting of each IP extension. On system's using WebLM licensing, this option is fixed to reserve a license.
Avaya IP phones without a license are still be able to register but are limited to making emergency calls only (Dial Emergency short code calls). The associated user is treated as if logged off and the phone displays "No license available". If a license becomes available, it is assigned to any unlicensed DECT handsets first and then to any other unlicensed Avaya phones in the order that the phones registered.
