5 Online Licensing
Swyx offers various licensing models that can be tailored to the needs of your business.
There are following technical ways to licence your software:
Licensing via license key where the purchased license key is checked once during the installation andOnline Licensing, which requires a permanent Internet connection to the Swyx license server to check the validity of the license.
The Online Licensing is not available for SwyxON and SwyxWare for DataCenter.
The Online Licensing is supported for new installations from SwyxWare Version 11.50.
Ordering
Licenses are ordered via Swyx operator web portal by your service provider. The number of function profiles or additional functions ordered by you is licensed, see 5.2 Feature Profile and 5.3 Additional functions
Using activation key
You must enter the activation key, which you received from your provider, in the configuration wizard during the SwyxWare installation.
In Swyx Control Center you can enter the activation key afterwards, e.g. in case of a function extension, see 4.3 Entering a license activation key.
License server
The validity of the licenses is constantly checked by the Swyx license server. If, for example, the connection between SwyxServer and the Swyx license server is interrupted due to network problems, the technical supervisors are automatically informed. Since the licenses are stored locally on SwyxServer, SwyxWare can be operated for a few days without synchronization with the central Swyx license server.
