The following fields control which source the IP Office system uses for its licenses. The fields shown depends on the type of IP Office system:
Field
Description
Licence Source
Default = WebLM.
This field is available on Server Edition systems. All IP Office systems in the network must use the same source for licensing. The options are:
  • WebLM
    Use licenses obtained from the PLDS license file uploaded to the WebLM service. All IP Office servers in the network request license reservations from the WebLM service.
    • On Server Edition systems, a Deploy button appears when you select WebLM as License Source. Click the Deploy button to browse and select a license file to deploy.
  • Local / Primary Server
    PLDS license files are uploaded to the IP Office service of each IP Office server. Depending on the particular licenses:
    • Some licenses are obtained by reservation requests to the primary IP Office server
    • Others licenses are obtained from the IP Office server’s own license file.
Enable Remote Server
Default = Off.
This field is available on non-Server Edition IP500 V2 systems. The options are:
  • If disabled, the IP Office system is licensed locally by uploading a license file to the system.
  • If enabled, the system uses licenses requested from a remote WebLM server. This option is only supported for systems in a branch enterprise supported via Avaya Aura® System Manager.
The additional fields displayed depend on the license source selection above:

Reserved Licenses

These fields are used to reserve licenses from the license server, WebLM or, if using nodal licensing, the Primary server. There are two types of reservation field; manual and automatic.
  • Manual fields can be used to set the number of licenses that the server should request from those available on the primary/WebLM server.
  • Automatic fields are set to match other aspects of the server configuration, for example the number of configured power users. Note that these values may not change until after the configuration is saved and then reloaded.
