Overview
licensing requires customers to use features through software license keys purchased and obtained from . Once purchased, customers install and manage licenses using the Embedded Management Application (EMA) License Management application. License files contain up to two
serial numbers. For a stand-alone SBC, the machine’s serial number must be contained in the license file to be valid. Likewise, for a HA pair the serial numbers of both machines must be contained in the license file to be valid.To obtain the serial number of either a stand-alone or a HA-Pair, on the SBC EMA, navigate to Monitoring > Dashboard > System Status. The System Status window appears. The serial number is displayed in the third column of the Server Status table.

Encryption function for signaling using TLS, IPSEC
...
SBC-POL-E911
...
SBC Embedded Routing Engine (ERE) support for accessing emergency services
...
SBC-POL-RTU
...
SBC Advanced ERE RTU per session license.
...
If "SBC-POL-E911" and "SBC-POL-ENUM" licenses are desired, the "SBC-POL-RTU" license is optional.
...
SBC-RTU
...
Controls the RTU for SIP and H.323 sessions. The following type of media sessions are enabled:
- Pass-through audio (no DSPs)
- Pass-through audio and video (no conferencing)
- Transcoded audio (DSP modules required).
...
Enables transcoding feature in SBC SWe. If value is non-zero, it allows specified number of transcoded calls on the system. If zero, no transcoded calls are allowed.
VDSP-RTU count should be always less than or equal to SBC-RTU count. If not, no transcoded calls are allowed.
...
Any additional emergency oversubscription is not supported for transcoded emergency calls on SBC SWe.

...
RTU media interworking using AMRNB. Use license to enable AMRNB audio transcoding. (DSP modules required)
...
Both DSP-AMRNB and VDSP-RTU licenses are required to transcode AMR-NB for product2.
...
DSP-EVRC
RTU media interworking using EVRC. Use license to enable EVRC audio transcoding. (DSP modules required)
...
This license is not applicable to SBC SWe because EVRC is not supported.
...
