38 License Key
The License Key determines the device's supported features (e.g., SIPRec) and call capacity. You
can upgrade or change this support, by purchasing and installing a new License Key containing
your ordered requirements.
The local License Key contains all your ordered feature licenses and capacity license. However,
the SBC capacity licenses (signaling sessions, media sessions, transcoding sessions, and
registered users) can also be provided remotely from AudioCodes OVOC management tool, using
the following SBC capacity licensing methods:
■ Fixed License Pool – see SBC Capacity Licenses from Fixed License Pool on page 681
■ Floating License – see SBC Capacity Licenses from Floating License on page 682
● The availability of certain Web pages depends on the installed License Key.
