IMG 1004 - Licensing
Overview
The IMG 1010 and various components require a license to be operated or enabled. The licenses are generated by Dialogic and distributed with the software supplied with the IMG 1010. Each license will unlock different functionality and the licenses are sold in different increments to address each customers needs. The license needs to be transferred to the /opt/dialogic/common/license directory on the GCEMS server.
File Format
The license file supplied contains a unique name which is derived from the serial number of the IMG 1004. The format of the file includes the eight digit serial number first (NNNNNNNN) followed by a timestamp (YYYYMMDDHHSS).
NNNNNNNN_YYYYMMDDHHSS.cfg
If the license is renamed or altered, it will become unusable.
Downloading a new License
FTP the license file into the /opt/dialogic/common directory on the GCEMS server. Remove or rename the existing licenses within the directory.
In ClientView, right-click the Physical IMG object and select New Licensing Info.
The IMG 1010 - License Info pane appears. Click the Download Node License button. The license loaded will now get sent to the IMG 1004.
Verify that within the IMG License Info pane object, that the new license is displayed.
The license is downloaded to the IMG 1004 based on the serial number. If a license other than the license intended for this machine is sent to the IMG 1004 the license will not download. It has to be specifically created for this machine's serial number.
Do not rename or alter the license file in any way; it will become unusable if altered.
Viewing License Info
You can view the current license status on a Physical IMG using the License Info pane.
Evaluation License
Evaluation licenses expire after a specified number of days. If you are using an Evaluation License, the License Expiration Info field indicates the date/time that the license will expire, as shown below. If you are not using an Evaluation License, the field will say "Does not expire".
You will get an EventView alarm and a warning pop-up in ClientView when there is 72 hours remaining on the license and when it has expired.

License Validation Failure
If for some reason the license isn't valid for your IMG 1004 the icon shown below will appear in the ClientView tree after creating a Physical Node.
 | A license validation has failed. Verify you have the required license and that it is configured on the IMG. See IMG 1010 - Downloading a License and the IMG 1010 - License Info pane. |
Licensed Components
Below are the licenses that can be created for the IMG 1004. Information on each is provided. Table 1 below shows the increments that each license can be purchased
If licensing remote CIC's, each remote node must have an SS7_ISUP port license that equals the number of CIC's you want to configure on that remote node.
License | Description |
|---|---|
SYSTEM_SOFTWARE | System Software License is needed on all IMG 1004's and is specific to the software build. A basic System Software License includes as a default 1024 DSP Resources |
SS7_BASE | The SS7 base license will need to be loaded if SS7 is going to be used. |
SS7_LINK | Up to 4 links can be licensed. |
SS7_ISUP_PORT (CIC's) | Up to 128 ISUP Ports can be licensed on the IMG 1004. See Table 1 Below. |
ISDN_PORT | Up to 128 TDM Ports can be licensed for ISDN B channels. See Table 1 below. |
TDM_PORT | There are a total of 128 TDM ports on the IMG 1004. (4 E1 and 4 T1) Table 1 below displays the increments that the licenses are created. |

DSP_RESOURCE_POINTS | The IMG 1004 initially comes licensed with 1024 Resource Points. Licenses are then created in 1024 port increments. 1024, 2048, 3072, 4096, 5120. |
SWITCHKIT®_NODE | The Switchkit®_Node license will allow GCEMS to communicate with the IMG 1004 |
