Hello,

Thanx.

Hi,

As far as I know commercial licensing is the same - You buy most of components per seat. SDK licensing was changed but I'am not sure how ( my company has global licensing agreement and there were some chagnes connected to 7.x ).

From technical point of view:

1) statserver no longer requires licences - You can have any number
2) TServer licences were split to 2 - sdn - number of seat's in Your installation, tdn - technical dn all other objects - routing points, ivr ports etc. This is quite important if You are using A4400 were in previous version You needed 2 licences for every agent ( extension and ACD Position). In 7.x You have to use agent substitution.

There also some changes connected to MCR ( Multimedia ) - there is no straight way to migrate from ICS to MCR - as far as I know You have to buy new licences for 7.x enviroment to use multimedia routing.

Well, actually IVR ports are in tserver_sdn.

another question - if you have say 100 tserver_sdn licenses but only 50 Inbound Voice licenses can you use more than 50 licenses for agents?


Also, can anyone explain to me what router_seats licenses mean?

Depends if you IVR is on behind mode or in-front mode. There are some licenses extra, can't remember the name.

When You configure IVR port as VTO it is taken from tdn but it no allways works. As for router_seats - it's number of unique targets for which urs can send interactions - normaly it is calculated as number of seats + number of ivr ports
