Licenses |
Many solutions, applications and features on IP Office systems are licensed and only operate when a valid license is detected. This includes features within IP Office applications running on PCs connected to the IP Office system.
Licenses are 32 character strings derived from a unique serial number for the IP Office system which will be using the license. The unique serial number is taken from the Feature Key device fitted to the IP Office system.
• |
IP500 Smart Card Feature Key
For IP500 IP Office control units, the serial number is based on the Smart Card Feature Key fitted to the control unit. A Smart Card Feature key is mandatory on all IP500 control units for correct operation of the unit regardless of whether the unit is using any licenses. |
• |
IP500 V2 SD Card Feature Key
For IP500 V2 control units, the serial number is based on the System SD Card Feature Key fitted to the control unit. A System SD Card Feature key is mandatory on all IP500 V2 control units for correct operation of the unit regardless of whether the unit is using any licenses. There are three types of System SD card available, which defines the default operating mode: |
• | System SD CARD A-LAW |
• | System SD CARD MU-LAW |
• | System SD CARD PARTNER |
For licensing each IP Office control unit must have its own Feature Key and licenses. The Feature Key associated with one IP Office system cannot be used to validate the licenses of another IP Office system.
Since licenses are based on the serial number of the Feature Key, they cannot be moved between systems with different Feature Keys. If a Feature Key is lost the license will become invalid. If it is necessary to exchange a Feature Key due damage or upgrade then the existing key and licenses can be exchanged (license swap) through the Avaya Direct International (ADI) website ( https://adi.avaya.com ). Please contact your Avaya Distributor or Avaya Channel Account Manager (CAM) for more information.
Some licenses enable a number of ports, channels or users. Depending on the particular license, each supported instance may be consumed either when it is configured for use or alternatively when it is actually being used. When no further instances of a license are available, further use of the licensed feature is not allowed.
Typically for port, channel and user licenses, multiple licenses can be added to give a higher number of supported ports, channels or users. However licenses above the capacity supported by the particular IP Office control unit will not work.
The following sections detail the current individual IP Office licenses. The actual licenses are indicated by a
icon and the following information:

IP Office Upgrade License
From Release 6 onwards IP Office needs a valid Release Entitlement to run. For new IP500 V2 systems the Release Entitlement will be free of charge delivered with the SD Card. To upgrade an older IP Office system to Release 6 an Upgrade license is required.

IP Office Group Collaboration Licenses
IP Office Preferred Edition
The following license is supported on all current IP Office control units.
• |
![]() In particular, this license enables: |
• | advanced messaging |
• | multi-level automated attendant |
• | secure meet-me conferencing |
• | call recording |
• | conditional call routing |
• | Text to Speech (TTS) for e-mail reading for users with appropriate User profiles |
• | queue announcements |
This system license enables VoiceMail Pro and provides the initial 4 ports. If additional voicemail ports are required, the appropriate licenses can be purchased at time of initial purchase or later (see "Additional Messaging Ports licenses" section below).
IP Office Preferred Edition Messaging (VoiceMail Pro) is a messaging server application that runs on a Windows server PC. It is enabled through the Preferred Edition license (see above). Messaging services to multiple IP Offices can be supported when they are connected in an IP Office Small Community Network (SCN). In this centralized voicemail scenario, only the central IP Office requires the Preferred Edition license. The other IP Offices within the network do not require a Preferred Edition license. However, from Release 6 onwards due to load balancing, capacity increase and resilience reasons it is possible to have more than one Preferred Edition License in the SCN.
By default Preferred Edition provides standard voicemail mailbox functions to all IP Office users and hunt groups plus support for call recording and call waiting announcements to callers. A range of additional features can be enabled by further licenses.
• |
Additional Messaging Ports Licenses
The Preferred Edition license includes support for 4 messaging ports. The total number of messaging ports supported can be increased by adding combinations of the following licenses, up to the maximum supported by the particular IP Office control unit (IP406 V2 = 20, IP412 = 30, IP500/IP500 V2 = 40). |

Messaging Feature Licenses
The Advanced Edition license provides Customer Call Reporter, ContactStore Call Recording Library, Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Visual Basic scripting and generic Text-To-Speech (TTS). The following licenses enable specific Messaging features beyond those already provided with Advanced Edition. These additional licenses all require the Preferred Edition (Voicemail Pro) license as a pre-requisite. |
• |
UMS Web Services Licenses
(also enabled by the “Teleworker” and "Power User" licenses)
UMS (Unified Messaging Server) allows users to access the messages in their Voicemail Pro mailbox via either a web browser (requires IIS on the Voicemail Pro server), using a IMAP compatible email application or using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 message store. The total number of users supported is set by adding combinations of the following licenses. Note that a license is consumed for each user configured for UMS access. |

![]() As standard, Preferred Edition supports automatic and or manual call recording to specified mailboxes. Also provided as part of Advanced Edition, this license allows Preferred Edition to use a 3rd-party application to support the storage and administration of call recordings. Currently the supported application for this is ContactStore for IP Office. When used manual and or automatic records calls can be routed (along with the call details) to the ContactStore applications database for storage and retrieval when required. |
• |
Text to Speech (TTS) Licenses
TTS can be used within customized voicemail call flows to speak information to callers rather than having to record prompts for the call flow or speak results of IVR queries. Two options are supported for TTS operation: |
• | As part of the Advanced Edition, that enables the use of the default Text-To-Speech (TTS) speech engine supplied as part of Windows operating system or any other SAPI compliant speech engine. This allows the creation of automated call flows that speak results of IVR queries. Eight (8) licenses are provided with the Advanced Edition system license. |
• |
![]() This license enables the use of the TTS speech engines supplied as part of the IP Office Voicemail Pro software set. Multiple licenses can combined for the number of simultaneous uses of TTS required up to the number of voicemail channels licensed. |
• |
![]() Voicemail Pro Networked Messaging (VPNM) can be used between separate IP Office systems, each with their own Voicemail Pro server, to exchange messages left for different mailboxes. This option is not supported within a Small Community Network (SCN) but can be used between separate SCN networks. |
IP Office Advanced Edition (Release 6 onwards)
• |
![]() In particular, this license enables: |
• | IP Office Customer Call Reporting (CCR), |
• | ContactStore Call Recording Library |
• | Interactive Voice Response (IVR) with external databases |
• | Visual Basic Scripting |
• | 8 ports of Text-to-Speech (TTS) to allow database queries using IVR to be read over the phone. |
• | The Advanced Edition needs a valid Preferred Edition license as a pre-requisite to run. |
Essential Edition Additional Voicemail Ports License (IP500 V2 only)
Essential Edition provides embedded messaging does not require the presence of a license. However, from Release 6 onwards each IP500 V2 system supports Essential Edition by default with 2 ports of voicemail enabled. This can be expanded up to 6 channels through licenses in steps of two.
