Licensing

IP-20G offers a pay as-you-grow licensing concept in which

future capacity growth and additional functionality can be
enabled with license keys.
For purposes of licensing, each IP-20G chassis is considered
a distinct device, regardless of which cards are included in the
chassis. Each device contains a single license key.
Licenses are divided into two categories:
Per Carrier The license is per carrier
Per Device The license is per device, regardless of the
number of carriers supported by the device.

Ceragon provides a web-based License Management

System (LMS). The LMS enables authorized users to
generate license keys, which are generated per IDU serial
number.

A 1+1 HSB configuration requires the same set of licenses for

both the active and the protected interfaces.

DEMO License
A demo license is available that enables all features for 60 days.
The demo license expires 60 days from the time it was activated,
and the most recent valid license goes into effect.

The 60-day period is only counted when the system is powered up.
10 days before the demo license expires, an alarm is raised
indicating to the user that the demo license is about to expire.
