The license file is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file. The license file has the information regarding the product, major release, and license features and capacities.
You can use the Avaya Product Licensing and Delivery System (PLDS) to generate and download license files for Messaging. The Avaya PLDS provides customers, Avaya Partners, distributors, and Avaya Associates with easy-to-use tools for managing license entitlements and electronic delivery of software and related license files. Using PLDS, you can perform operations such as license activations, license upgrades, license moves, and software downloads.
When you place an order for a PLDS-licensed software product such as Messaging, the license entitlements on the order are automatically created in PLDS. Once these license entitlements are created, you receive an e-mail notification from PLDS. This e-mail notification includes a license activation code (LAC). Using the LAC, you can quickly find and activate the newly purchased license entitlements in PLDS. You can then download the license file.
Important You must provide the WebLM host ID to activate the license file in PLDS. The WebLM host ID is the MAC address of the server and is obtained from the WebLM Web interface.
