Licensing Integrity
The security key also ensures licensing integrity. When a system detects removal of its key, the
system disables audio for subsequent calls. When the audio is disabled, the system posts
applicable alarms to the LCD panel on the front of the unit chassis and to the LCD on the
administrator endpoint. Alarm #122 indicates that the key is missing, while Alarm #125 identifies
the number of minutes before the system initiates a reset.
When the key is replaced and the correct serial number is detected by the system, the audio is
enabled and the reset countdown is aborted.
If the system powers up without the USB security key in place, the user must reload the
software license through DB Programming.
USB Security Key for the PS-1 Unit
The Inter-Tel CS-5600 requires that a USB security key reside in the PS-1 unit. However, the
Base Server does
not need a USB security key. The administrator must upload the appropriate
software license to the PS-1. For procedural details about uploading a license, refer to the Inter-
Tel 5000 Features and Programming Guide (part no. 580.8006).
Licensing Options for v2.4
For systems running Inter-Tel 5000 v2.x software, v2.4 is a nonchargeable upgrade. However,
while no charge applies to upgrading from v2.x to v2.4, systems running v1.2 must first upgrade
to v2.0, which is a chargeable license.
The Inter-Tel 5000 uses one unique Category D license for each of the Models 5212, 5224,
5330, and 5340 endpoints, which is a chargeable license. Licensing requirements have not
changed for Inter-Tel endpoints.
For details and part numbers, refer to “Parts and Part Numbers” on page 6-3 or contact your
provider for more information.
NOTES
While v2.4 includes some system enhancements (for example, some user
interfaces have been changed to improve usability), you are not required to
upgrade to v2.4 unless you are using Mitel endpoints. If you are using Mitel
endpoints, you must have a Category D (purchased) license for each Mitel
endpoint that is added to the system.
You will not see a DB Programming licensing error message when upgrading to
v2.4.
NOTE
If you are using Enterprise Messaging, you must have a fax license to detect fax-
tone and to send, receive, and listen to faxes.
