Interactions and Restrictions
The following interactions and restrictions exist for licensing:
• Cisco strongly recommends that you obtain the license by using Microsoft Outlook as your email client.
Using other email clients to obtain the license file may cause additional characters to display in the
license file.
• The system uploads the license file only if the version that is specified in the license file is greater than
or equal to the call-processing software version that is running on the server. If the version check fails,
obtain a new license file with the correct version. The system bases the version check only on major
releases.
• The format of the license file that you receive specifies Volaris<timestamp>.lic. If you retain the .lic
extension, you can rename the license file. You cannot use the license if you edit the contents of the file
in any way.
• You cannot delete a license file from the server.
