title Attention
The SBC SWe Lite SKUs are going End of Sale (EoS) at the end of 2023 and Ribbon is replacing SBC SWe Lite SKUs with SBC SWe Edge SKUs. Effective September 20, 2023 the SBC SWe Edge Configurator includes a new button to select either the new SBC SWe Edge SKUs or the older SBC SWe Lite SKUs. Ribbon encourages you to use the SBC SWe Edge SKUs wherever possible and only use the SWe Lite SKUs for an existing opportunity that requires the older SKUs.

Info
title Note
In addition to supporting Standalone (SA) SWe Edge deployments, with the SBC SWe Edge Release R12, Ribbon now also supports the deployment of High Availability (HA) on your SWe Edge. For more information on deploying HA on your SWe Edge, refer to: Deploying High Availability on the SBC SWe Edge.

  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 

  Spacevars

  license file generation and interpretation.

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