Installing a New License
To install a new license:
1. Start the installation tool located in the /tb/bin/release/<proc-OS-arch>/ directory.
2. Select option 22: Install a license.
When you are asked for the path of the license file, enter the path in which you saved the license
file (XX_TB000XXX_RELEASE_VX_XX_RCX_license.dat) received from the TelcoBridges support
group.
It is important that you use the license file intended for the major version of the package. You must
know the serial number of the TelcoBridges Tmedia unit to be able to choose the right license. For
example, the license file WD_TB000103_RELEASE_V2_4_5_RC1_license.dat would be valid for
any Tmedia unit with the serial number TB000103 and any release v2.4 package.
3. Select option
99
to restart the TelcoBridges Tmedia unit and apply the new license.
Note
The license installed can be verified by using option 34 or option 2 of the installation
program.
The installed license can be verified only if the firmware loaded is the same as the
running firmware (same versions). This can be verified using option 10.
To verify a license on another firmware, set the next boot directory (option 12) and restart
the Tmedia unit.
When a license expires, the Tmedia unit restarts by itself and no features will be
available until a new license is installed.
Some licenses can be upgraded live without restarting the TelcoBridges Tmedia unit, others cannot.
Do not restart the TelcoBridges Tmedia unit if:
•
The license's expiry time is extended or becomes permanent. For example, the expiry date is
September and there is an extension until November.
•
The license adds features to an existing feature. For example, there are 120 IVR features activated,
and the new license provides 240 voice processing resources.
Restart the TelcoBridges Tmedia unit if:
•
The old license has expired and an extended or permanent license has been installed.
