In IR R2.0, the licensing mechanism has changed from Right-to-Use (RTU) to WebLM. Only licensed features require WebLM licensing. IR systems prior to Release 2.0 still use the RTU licensing mechanism.
WebLM is a standard way of implementing feature licensing across various Avaya products.
For WebLM licensing to function effectively, each IR system has to contact a WebLM server. You can install the WebLM server on the same platform as the IR system or you can install the WebLM server on a different platform. For more information, see WebLM licensing feature and Setting up the WebLM server.
To activate WebLM licensing, you need to install a single license file. The IR system license file is distributed separately in an e-mail from Avaya. You must install this file on the WebLM server. To upgrade from a version of IR, earlier than R2.0, contact your Avaya representative or Avaya partner representative. The license file contains details about the features and the number of ports you have purchased. For more information, see Installing a license file.
Note:
Ensure that you have installed the AVweblm package, before administering licensing
You should use the License Configuration screen to configure the URL addresses of the WebLM servers you want to use. On receiveing a request from the IR system for licenses, the WebLM server refers to the license file and responds with the number of licenses which are available for use. The IR system will activate the number of ports for which it has received a successful response from the WebLM Server. For more information, see License Configuration screen.
The IR system contacts two types of WebLM servers:
In WebLM, there are 2 types of licensing mechanisms:
Depending upon the license values acquired by the IR system at startup, the IR system operates in the:
For more information, see WebLM server modes of operation.
The licenses acquired from the WebLM server are valid for a period of 600 seconds. After this period, the number of licenses available with the WebLM server are updated in the IR system.
