There are two installation methods:
- Virtual Machine: Supports VMware Workstation (16.1.0+), Hyper-V (10.0.19041.1 +), KVM (4.5.0+), and VirtualBox (7.0+).
- Physical Machine: Supports physical machines with x86 architecture CPUs.
- Activation methods include offline activation and online activation. Virtual machine installation only allows online activation, while physical machine installation supports both online and offline activation.
- If offline activation is required, the device information must be sent to your reseller to obtain the license file for this device.
- Select the correct activation method and upload the license.
- Each license file can be bound to only one Software instance, and each SoftwareUCM instance can only be associated with one license file.
It could be one of below reasons:
1. If you are using a virtual machine, it must be online for license verification. Otherwise, the license may become invalid.
2. Cloning virtual machine instances or similar behavior can cause the license to expire.
3. If you are using a physical machine, replacing the machine’s hard drive can cause the license to become invalid.
4. The license validity period has ended.
In physical machine installations, licenses are tied to hard disk information. As a result, changing it may invalidate the license. To ensure the SoftwareUCM installation will still work after a hardware replacement, make a data backup prior to the replacement, reinstall SoftwareUCM onto the new physical machine, submit its information to your reseller, and obtain the new license file from them to activate your SoftwareUCM instance.
A single SoftwareUCM instance does not support multi-tenant functionality with data isolation.
- Each SoftwareUCM instance needs to be assigned an independent IP address.
- Due to limitations such as multiple IP restrictions in cloud services and the lack of support for MAC-VLAN, cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud do not support multi-tenant mode.
How do I expand the number of extensions and concurrent calls I can make?
(Coming Soon) Similar to our UCM6304 and UCM6308, the 1+N media cluster feature can expand the number of extensions and concurrent calls a single instance can have by peering multiple UCMs or SoftwareUCMs together through one of two deployment methods:
(1) A central Business server and several media servers.
Or
(2) Mesh network of UCMs/SoftwareUCMs that are all connected to one another.
Currently not supported. SoftwareUCM will support both Hot Standby and Remote Disaster Recovery HA in the near future.
