Licensing
Avaya controls the use and access of some of Avaya Modular Messaging
features by use of licences, which the customer must purchase. The
features that Avaya controls using licensing include:
! The platform the customer wants to use for the message store
(Avaya MSS, Microsoft Exchange, or IBM Lotus Domino)
! The number of seats (mailboxes enabled for Modular Messaging)
the customer wants to use
! The maximum number of concurrent text-to-speech (TTS)
sessions the customer wants to use
Customers can view the licensing for their system using the Licensing
utility in the Voice Mail System Configuration application.
The license for the number of seats the customer wants to use counts the
number of Modular-Messaging-enabled mailboxes in the voice mail
domain.
With Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino message stores, after
administrators have created mailboxes for subscribers, they must enable
Modular Messaging. A subscriber whose mailbox is not enabled for
Modular Messaging cannot make use of Modular Messaging features, but
can still receive voicemail from other voicemail-enabled subscribers.
For Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino message stores, the
number of e-mail mailboxes may be less than, equal to, or greater than the
number of purchased seats. For example, a customer that intends to
enable all mailboxes for voicemail and is planning to add subscribers,
may require fewer e-mail mailboxes than seats. Another example is of a
customer that needs only some of the e-mail mailboxes to be
voicemail-enabled. In this case, the number of e-mail mailboxes is greater
than the number of seats.
In a Modular Messaging—MSS system, the number of mailboxes can be
less than or equal to the number of licensed seats.
