Troubleshooting guide
Initial Setup
31
The system is generating “Major” 
license violation messages in 
maintenance logs, alarms, and 
the ESM interface (pop-ups on 
multiple forms and banner status 
messages).
The “Minor” level license 
violation escalation timer has 
expired (20 days after the 
original event)
OR
An attempt has been made to 
over-allocate a license that 
cannot be over-allocate (e.g. an 
ACD Active Agent license).
Correct the license violation event.
The system is generating 
“Critical” license violation 
messages in maintenance logs, 
alarms, the ESM interface 
(pop-ups on multiple forms and 
banner status messages), the 
Desktop Tool, and device 
displays. 
The “Major” level license 
violation escalation timer has 
expired (25 days after the 
original event).
Correct the license violation event.
The system has reached “System 
Lock” license violation level and is 
generating a variety of error 
messages and alarms. In 
addition, the Desktop Tool is 
disabled and all sets except 
attendant consoles are placed in 
restricted service mode. Users 
can place emergency and 
attendant calls, and receive calls, 
but they cannot place regular 
outgoing calls. 
The system is locked when an 
over-allocation violation is left 
uncorrected. For this to happen, 
the “Major” level license violation 
escalation time must expire (30 
days after the original event) and 
the number of licenses that have 
been over-allocated must 
exceed 5% of all purchased 
licenses.
Correct the license violation event.
