SBC SWe Lite License Format Overview

The SBC SWe Lite now displays a new attribute, License Format, alongside the list of features enabled through the application of a license file. License format clarifications:

• License Format refers to the mechanism that creates the license file; the SBC SWe Lite instance uses this mechanism to activate purchased features.
• License Format does not refer to any individual purchased features (i.e., SIP sessions, SIP registrations, call forking, etc.).
• On occasion, License Format may change to account for modifications made in SBC SWe Lite license file generation and interpretation.

As of Release 8.0.3, two license formats exist. See below.
