Use the Required License table to define characteristics for licensed features that specify which and how many licenses the SBC will request from the Site License Server (SLS) when the SBC is operating in a network wide license deployment with the license mode configured as Network.

Services enabled by a counted license can be configured with a Min Count and a Max Count value. When these values are equal, the 

Spacevars
0product
 requests and retains that number of licenses at the 
Spacevars
0product
 irrespective of demand for the license. When the values for these fields are different, the 
Spacevars
0product
 maintains the number of licenses configured in Min Count irrespective of demand, and it never requests more licenses than the configured Max Count value.

Info
titleNote

This configuration only applies if your SBC was configured in network license mode in a prior release. If you need assistance in setting your license mode, contact Ribbon Technical Support.

Min CountThe

Use this parameter to specify the minimum number (

1-256000

1–256000) of licenses

the SBC needs to acquire from the license server for the feature's deployment (the feature selected from the Feature Name drop-down list).
Max Count
The minimum number ("Unlimited" or 2-1000000) of licenses the SBC needs to acquire from the license server  the feature's deployment (the feature selected from the Feature Name drop-down list).
 

the SBC will request from the SLS to retain at the SBC (regardless of demand) when the associated license is first configured. (Default = 1)

When the Min Count is set to the default value of "1", one license is requested from the SLS and retained at the SBC to verify the availability of the feature license. When Min Count is configured for a service that is already active, the SBC immediately requests the additional licenses required to reach the configured minimum count. If the licenses that are present at the SBC have already surpassed the configured minimum, the SBC does not make any additional license requests.

If a configured minimum count is not available at the SLS, the alarm sonusSbxMinimumLicenseCountThresholdNotReached is raised to indicate the SBC is running below the configured minimum count for the associated license.

Max Count

Use this parameter to specify the maximum number of licenses (2–1000000, or "unlimited") the SBC can request from the SLS. (Default = "unlimited")

If the system is utilizing licenses and the Max Count is reconfigured to a value less than the licenses already in use, the SBC does not reject existing sessions using the license, and throttles new attempts requiring the license to the newly configured limit. 

If the SBC is operating above the configured threshold, the alarm sonusSbxMaximumLicenseCountThresholdExceeded is raised. This condition restricts further use of the licensed feature until the number of licenses at the SBC drop below the configured maximum.

Info
titleNote

 Min Count and Max Count are not configurable for services controlled by instance licenses. These services are enabled system wide when a single token of the feature license is present at the system.
