Wave Server Installation Guide
Activating Wave licenses
You activate your Wave licenses to enable full functionality on your Wave system. Once you
have entered your licenses, you are ready to activate them.
Before your licenses are activated
You can use non-trial Wave licenses for a period of time without activating them (the specific
period of time can vary by license type.) The grace period starts on the day that you enter the
license via the Software Licenses applet. You can activate your licenses at any time during the
grace period or after the grace period elapses.
Until you activate your licenses, the following will occur:
• Every time you launch the Global Administrator Management Console, you will be
reminded that licenses need to be activated. The dates when license grace periods are due
to elapse are displayed in the Expiration column
• If the grace period expires before a license is activated, whenever any user accesses their
voice messages, the user hears a message stating that there is an expired license on the
system and to contact the system administrator.
Activating your licenses eliminates these behaviors, and prevents any interruption to your
system’s operation if the grace period expires.
Important: Whenever you activate licenses (either during initial system installation or to
expand your system at a later time), be sure to back up your Wave system according to the
instructions in “Backing up your system configuration” in Chapter 15 in the Wave Global
Administrator Guide so that you do not have to repeat the activation process if you ever need to
restore your system.
