SL2100 Licensing Manual

Certain features on the SL2100 require a licenses to enable them to work, this manual is intended to give an
overview on how the licensing procedure operates on the SL2100 platform and how the install the licenses. Each
SL2100 CCPU has a unique ‘Hardware Key’. This hardware key can be assigned to licenses on the LMS.

The License Management server (LMS) is a web portal where users can logon and download a license that can
be installed onto a SL2100. The procedure involves logging the hardware key on to the LMS and then assigning
licenses to the hardware key. Once this has been done then a license file can be downloaded and it can be
installed onto a CCPU card using PC Pro or WebPro.

The LMS can also be used to generate licenses for the IP DECT system. This works in the similar way to the SV
licensing model but the licenses are assigned to a unique ‘PARI’ code instead of a Hardware Key. The PARI code
is issued when the IP DECT equipment is ordered. Details for licensing IP DECT Systems can be found in IP
DECT Licensing.

1 – The Free License and 60 Day Trial

The free license can only be enabled whilst the 60 day trial period is valid on the SL2100. The rules surrounding
the 60 day trial and the free license are summarised below:

60 Day Trial

 The 60 day trial period will begin from when the CPU is first powered up and will start counting down.
 Whilst the CPU is powered up there is no way to stop or pause the 60 day trial, it will continue to countdown
until it expires.
 If the CPU is powered down then the countdown will be paused until the CPU is powered on again. Once
powered on again the countdown will continue.
 To use the free license, the 60 day trial must not have expired.

Free License

 The Free License can only be enabled on the SL2100 during the 60 day trial period.
 When the Free License is enabled you have full access to all licensed features on the SL2100.
 The free license is turned off by default and can be turned on in PRG command 90-55 or in Easy Edit /
Quick Install / 60 Day Trial.
 To view the number of days remaining in the trial, you must first turn on the free license and then look in
PRG command 10-52-01 or Easy Edit / Quick Install / 60 Day Trial
 The free license will stop running if the 60 day trial expires or it is disabled in PRG command 10-52-01 or
in Easy Edit / Quick Install / 60 Day Trial
 If the free license is running when the 60 day trial period expires, then the features running under the
free license will cease to work.

Note 1: When you turn off the free license any registered licensed devices restart. For example IP Terminals, if
you turn off the free license, any IP Terminals that are in use will restart.

2 – Licensable Items
All of the licensing options can be broken down into different categories. Some licenses are either turned on or off,
these types of licenses normally have a quantity of 1 to turn them on. Other licenses can have a quantity based
on the number of devices that can be used.

References in this manual are made to both license codes and part numbers. License codes are the actual codes
that are recognised by the SL2100, all license codes are 4 digits in length. Part numbers are the numbers that are
actually ordered and are generally referred to as BE codes or EU codes. They will begin EU or BE and will have
6 numbers. Some licenses are included by default, the table below provides a summary of these licenses. The
manual goes on to describe each license and its purpose in more detail.

3 - Using the LMS

User accounts are created on the LMS that allow a dealer to logon. A Dealer Admin is a role that would be assigned
to people within an organisation that are responsible for ordering and administrating licenses. When a license is
generated, an email notification is sent to the email address associated with the dealer admin. The dealer admin
can carry out the following functions:

 View Available / Activated Licenses
 Lookup and change existing customers details

Logging into the LMS

The LMS is accessed via BusinessNet via the Order Management > License Generator page.

numbers, names and quantity of each license that was ordered.

As the mail address suggests you should not reply to this email address with any queries, instead contact
whomever you ordered the license from. Once this email has been received then it’s available for you to use.

the customer and the hardware key of the CCPU into the LMS. Firstly a customer is created this contains the
details of the company, once the company is created then a location can be added that has the hardware key
stored against it. If a customer / company has several SL2100’s installed in their organisation then these can be
added as different locations for that customer. To add a customer, from the homepage, click Customer

that will be assigned to the CPU before activating them. Once licenses are activated then they are permanently
assign to the hardware key. From the home page of the LMS logon screen click License Administration.

Assigning Licenses to a Customer

Under Available Purchase Orders, you can type in a PO number to search. When you have found the correct PO

click the icon to see the licenses that are available. Enter the quantity of each part number in the ‘Sel’ box
that should be assigned to the hardware key and click Add.
