Aggregate Licensing and IPT Users

Mitel Performance Analytics devices automatically contact their parent containers to acquire licenses. If their parent container does not have a license for them, then they contact the next higher container in the hierarchy until the root container is reached.

Licensing for some device capabilities is based on the total count of IPT users. For example, if a container has a MiVoice Business call server configured for 1,000 IP users, a second MiVoice Business call server configured for 500 IP users, and a MiVoice Border Gateway configured for 100 IP users, then the container can be loaded with 1,600 licenses.

The container licenses are flexible. Licenses that are assigned to a container are available to any of the devices in the container. In the previous example, if the first MiVoice Business call server is reconfigured to have just 800 IP users, then 200 licenses are free to be applied against the second MiVoice Business call center or MiVoice Border Gateway.

Use the IPT Users Inventory query to determine the number of licenses you need. For details see "Inventory Queries".
