Licensing optiClient Attendant (V8) at HiPath 3000 V8 
 

Overview  
In optiClient Attendant, licensing is performed via HiPath License Management. The full version of optiClient Attendant V8 is available as an order item.
optiClient Attendant V8 operates with HiPath 3000 V8, HiPath 3000/5000 V7 and higher, HiPath 2000 V2 and higher, and HiPath OpenOffice EE and higher.
optiClient Attendant V7.0 no longer operates with HiPath 3000 V7 and higher, HiPath 2000 V2 and higher or HiPath OpenOffice EE.
optiClient Attendant versions < 7.0 cannot be upgraded.
Licensing is performed on the associated HiPath 3000 system. In order to ensure unique licensing, the license file is linked with the MAC address of the HiPath 3000 control board.

Procedure  
 Figure 8-3   Procedure for Licensing optiClient Attendant V8 on HiPath 3000 V8
 

 Step  
 Activity (Remarks)  
 1.  
Read the HiPath 3000 V8 customer database.  
 2.  
Read out the MAC address of the HiPath 3000 control board.  
 3.  
Enter the LAC and MAC address at the CLS in order to generate the license key either  
 •   a) via CLM/CLS communication,
or  
 •   b) via direct communication with the CLS via a web browser.
 4.  
Transfer the license key from the CLS via the CLM to the CLA (CLC - HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E).  
 •   a) via CLM/CLS communication,
or  
 •   b) manually on the CLM (license key is already available, offline activation).
 5.  
Write the CDB to HiPath 3000 V8. (Once the license data has been transferred to HiPath 3000, the CLA is no longer required.)  
 6.  
Install optiClient Attendant(s).  
"Any" number of optiClient Attendants can be installed. However, HiPath 3000 monitors the number of licensedoptiClient Attendants as part of the logon procedure.  
Depending on the model, up to six optiClient Attendants can be started per system.  
When the HiPath 3000 is started for the first time, a 30-day grace period begins. During this time, all HiPath 3000 features that require licensing (including optiClient Attendant) can be operated without a license. All features that require a license (including optiClient Attendants that have been subsequently installed) must be licensed before the grace period of the HiPath 3000 expires. The 30-day limit cannot be extended and a second grace period will not be granted.  
In this case, the CLS generates a license key for HiPath 3000 V8.
