(SWA) entitles you to upgrade the communication server to a new software level for
a specific period., and to operate it with a specific number of users.
A valid software assurance is the prerequisite for being able to acquire an update li-
cence (
Software Release
licence) for a particular software version. Without a valid
Software Release
licence you can update the communication server to a new soft-
ware level, but after four hours of operating time it will switch over to the restricted
operating mode (see "Restricted operating mode", page 76). The communication
server will switch back to normal operation as soon as you upload a licence file that
comprises the
Software Release
licence. You do not need to restart the communica-
tion server.
Note:
The purchase of a new communication server also includes a software assurance for a spe-
cific period. Log on with your partner login to Mitel Connect
and
obtain a new licence file using the EID number and the voucher. The licence file issued as a
result contains the appropriate
Software Release
licence (and any other licences you may
have acquired). You can now activate the communication system with this licence file.
Detailed instructions about this can be found in the WebAdmin help on the
Licences

Mitel Advanced Intelligent Network
In an AIN, a valid
Software Release
licence must be available on the master only. Exception:
For long-term offline mode, for operation with Secure VoIP and use as backup communica-
tion server, the satellite must also have a valid
Software Release
licence.
– Behaviour of satellites in online mode:
Although satellites must also have a release licence, they must not necessarily match
the current software status. If satellites do not have any release licence, they restart
every four hours.
– Behaviour of satellites in offline mode:
Satellites with an incorrect release licence change over to restricted operating mode
after thirty-six hours. Satellites without any release licence change over to restricted
operating mode after four hours.

Mitel SMBC requires a
User
licence for each user in the system.
Exception: A user without a terminal or with a virtual terminal only does not need a
licence.

Basic User
(licence bundle)
With this licence bundle an additional user is available who can assign any type of
terminal including the appropriate phone licence, if needed. This allows the user to
change the phone type without changing the licensing. Note that with this licence
bundle only one terminal can be assigned to an user. The licence bundle is explicitly
assigned to an certain user.
