Avaya provides a Web-based license manager (WebLM) to manage licenses of one or more Avaya software products for your organization. WebLM is a Web-based license manager that facilitates easy tracking of licenses. To track and manage licenses in an organization, WebLM requires a license file from the Avaya Product Licensing and Delivery System (PLDS) website at https://plds.avaya.com.
A WebLM server is installed as part of the System Platform installation and will be automatically configured as the WebLM server to be used by Messaging. Customers can subsequently change this configuration if they already have a centralized WebLM server that they would prefer to use instead.
In larger or more complex environments, customers might have multiple Messaging systems. Each Messaging system can be associated with just one license file and therefore, consideration must be given to how the licenses will be distributed. In many cases, these decisions must be made before the license is obtained through PLDS.
