Send proof the machine is dead? Would you like a picture of smoke pouring out of a box in flames?

What if you want to re-allocate the machine to do something else or just replace it with a more powerful machine? How are the licenses tied to the machine, MAC address?

Any reason the "option" for a floating license model isn't available? It seems given the option between the two, I'd rather have the floating license model so I wouldn't need to prove my machine is dead before asking to have the licenses re-issued, unless of course the license server is dead. We swap production machines in/out all the time, particularly because we perform maintenance on one, so we have a spare, bring it up, take the other one down, perform maintenance, and bring it back up.

With this model, floating licenses would be our only option, I really wouldn't want to be purchasing a bunch of extra licenses for spare machines.

I can't imagine you guys really like making us feel like criminals by tieing the license to an actual box, what's wrong with the good 'ole "on your honor policy"? I realize the need to pay for valid g729 licenses, but prove the machine is dead? Is this requirement coming from Sipro?

Cheers,
Gabe

1.       Are these licenses additive? In other words, if I’ve purchased one for a machine and need a total of five, can I purchase four more and add them to the mix?
2.       If we have to replace a machine, how can we replace the licenses without repurchasing them?
 
Thanks,
