License Keys For each server in a VCX configuration, you must obtain and install a
license key. The key enables the use of devices such as telephones and
functions such as voice mailboxes.
CAUTION: Before you begin the configuration of the VCX server, you
must install a valid license key. If you do not install the license key, many
software processes that are critical to the proper operation of the server
cannot start.
Obtaining a
License
Key
Each license key is uniquely tied to one server through a machine ID.
To obtain the machine ID for any server, log in as root and enter this
command:
vcx-showmachineid
Obtain, from your 3Com Voice Authorized Reseller, the license key that
corresponds to the machine ID.
Installing a
License
Key
After you have obtained the license key, install it on the server by logging
in as root and entering this command:
vcx-licenseinstall <license key>
These confirmation messages indicates that the license key has been
successfully installed.
Activation Key Successfully Validated
Success: Activation key validated and installed.
Backing Up License
Key Files
3Com strongly recommends that users save copies of their license key
files in a separate safe location. If any VCX server experiences a disk
failure or any other problem that requires the VCX software to be
reinstalled, the license key file will be available during that process.
