IP Concert: What types of licenses are available to me when I install Concert from the DVD?
The EMS application is installed when you install the Concert Server software. During the installation of the EMS application, the 5-User Perpetual license is automatically copied to the Concert directory: /usr/local/clearcom/concert/concert_demo.lic.
When EMS is first started, the 5-User Perpetual license activates. You have full access to the Concert system for an unlimited time period and the ability to create up to 5 Concert users, 5 Client channels and 8 Server channels. There are no other access restrictions.
Note: Technical support for the 5-User Perpetual license is limited to your Concert documentation and self-serve support resources at the Clear-Com website (http://www.clearcom.com/support).
To use Concert with more than 5 users, you must purchase a Concert license from Clear-Com. See the Licensing Quick Start Guide, located on the Concert DVD, for more information.
There are two types of licenses:
Timed (1 year) license.
Perpetual license (license does not expire).
Note: A Perpetual license only works for the Concert Server release it was purchased for (for example, v2.7). To upgrade the Concert Server software, you must purchase a new license. If the Concert Server is never upgraded, the license works forever.
Important note: Re-enabling the 5-User Perpetual license restores the limits described above. You must reduce the number of users and channels to those limits, otherwise all Client login attempts will be denied.
