NBX Licensing 79
Example 4 — Dynamic License Group Adjustment: You add another
3103 Manager’s Telephone (Group 2 device) to your an NBX system that
has no licenses available in any group. The system will not enable the new
telephone. You could add another Group 2 license, but it would be more
cost-effective to add a less expensive Group 0 license instead. After you
add a Group 0 license, the system automatically reassigns licenses in this
manner:
■
Releases one of the Group 2 licenses that was assigned to one of the
3100 Entry Telephones.
■
Assigns the new Group 0 license to the 3100 Telephone.
■
Assigns the released Group 2 license to the new 3103 Telephone.
The system now has no licenses available.
Example 5 — Manual License Group readjustment: You add another
3103 Manager’s Telephone (Group 2 device) to an NBX system that has
no licenses available in any group. Instead of adding a Group 0 license, as
shown in Example 4, you could manually remove one of the telephones
from the system to free a license. For example, you could use the NBX
NetSet utility to remove the 3101 Basic Telephone. Since that telephone
was using a Group 2 license, removing the telephone makes a Group 2
license available.
Group License Notes
■
To view the number of Group Licenses you have installed on your
system open the License Summary page in the NBX NetSet utility,
Licensing and Upgrades > Licenses. To view how the number of Group
Licenses have been allocated, including licenses loaned to different
groups, open the License Usage Report in the NBX NetSet utility,
Licensing and Upgrades > Licenses > Usage Report .
■
To achieve the best licensing configuration, you should always add
license keys to the system (
Licensing and Upgrades > Licenses > Add
License ) before you add devices.
■
If you are removing a telephone to manually readjust licenses, you
should first make sure that
Auto Discover Telephones is disabled
( System-wide Settings > Auto Discovery ) to ensure that the telephone
is not automatically added to the system again.

Basic V3001 Analog, V3001 BRI, V3000 Analog, and V3000 BRI
systems include fifteen Group 2 Licenses.
