The instructions on this page refer to SBC SWe Lite trials undertaken in a public cloud context, such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS), as opposed to an on-premises deployment within a Virtual Machine Monitor (i.e. Microsoft Hyper-V/VMware ESXi/KVM). For an on-premises trial, refer to SBC SWe Lite Trial Offer for On-Premises Deployment.
The SBC SWe Lite is not subject to any services, maintenance or support from Ribbon. Maintenance and support is available for an SBC SWe Lite deployed with one or more production licenses. Contact Ribbon Sales when you are ready to acquire a production license.
Ribbon offers an NFR (Not For Resale) configuration of the SBC SWe Lite for additional features beyond those available with the trial license; contact Ribbon sales for additional information.
Evaluate the SBC SWe Lite in the Public Cloud... With No Obligation To Buy!
Ribbon offers a no obligation trial license to potential customers/partners to evaluate the SBC SWe Lite. The trial license presents a set of complimentary features within the context of a public cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS)) SBC SWe Lite deployment. The no obligation trial license activates:
- 5 complimentary SIP↔SIP signaling sessions
- 3 media sessions with RTP media manipulation (includes transcoding with SILK and RTP↔SRTP encryption and decryption services)
- 5 SIP device registrations
Notes:
- The complimentary features are not intended for production (live customer) deployments, but are intended only for trial or demonstration purposes.
The SBC SWe Lite running the Release 9.0 software or later offers the trial license-enabled features in two ways:
The temporary availability of the trial features upon SBC SWe Lite initial boot, under control of a 30 day time-limited embedded trial license.
Availability of 30 Day Embedded Trial License with Release 8.0The SBC SWe Lite running the Release 8.0 software offers the additional convenience of a 30 day time-limited embedded trial license:
- The feature set associated with this embedded time-limited license matches the feature set enabled by the SBC-SWELITE-TRIAL-CLOUD customer-orderable, permanent trial feature license;
- The potential customer/partner evaluating the SBC SWe Lite can choose to defer the application of the permanent trial feature license for up to 30 days as they take advantage of the embedded trial license.
- The permanent availability of the trial features, through the application of the SBC-SWELITE-TRIAL-CLOUD SKU to the SBC SWe Lite. Refer to Working with Licenses for more information.
When you are ready to commit to the powerful and flexible production version of SBC SWe Lite, Ribbon recommends acquiring a new instance of the SBC SWe Lite, along with the desired feature licenses required to support a production deployment (i.e., live customer traffic). Contact Ribbon sales or an authorized Ribbon partner for more information.

Do You Wish to Extend Your SBC SWe Lite Trial?
The SBC SWe Lite Release 9.0 software offers a 30 day time-limited embedded trial license, as shown below. Ribbon also offers the option to extend the availability of the trial features indefinitely.
Access the Current Licenses screen to verify the availability of the 30 day time-limited trial license-enabled feature set. If the time-limited trial feature set is available, take note of expiration date (under the Feature Expiration column). Prior to expiration, plan to obtain and apply a permanent trial license (the SBC-SWELITE-TRIAL-CLOUD SKU). Refer to Obtaining and Installing a Permanent SBC SWe Lite Trial License.
If the Current Licenses screen is unavailable (see screen below) and you have not completed your evaluation of the SBC SWe Lite in the public cloud, generate and apply a new permanent trial license (the SBC-SWELITE-TRIAL-CLOUD SKU). Refer to Obtaining and Installing a Permanent SBC SWe Lite Trial License.
