Adding and Deleting License Keys

Certain features may only be enabled with license keys, like royalty-based codecs. The following guidelines apply to these license keys:

• Each license key is bound to a specific Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller by serial number.
• Oracle does not allow transferring a license key from one Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to another.
• Multiple license keys can be active on the same Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller simultaneously.
• If a feature is covered by more than one license key, the latest expiration date applies.
• You can activate and deactivate license keys in real time.

You can request license keys via the License Codes website at http://www.oracle.com/us/support/licensecodes/acme-packet/index.html

License Key Expiration

When a license expires, you are no longer able to use the features associated with it. The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller automatically disables all associated functionality.

To avoid a license unexpectedly expiring and therefore potentially disrupting service, you should track expiration dates and renew licenses well in advance of expiration.

Expired licenses appear in the show features command until you delete them, although you cannot use those features. Deleting an expired license requires that you take the same steps as you do for deleting a valid one.
