13Chapter 1 Getting StartedGlobal Management System User’s Guide
Overview
Global Management System Licenses are based on the number of subscribed endpoints. Global
Management System is a software application that enables the user to enter as many license
keys needed to manage endpoints within a video communications network. Each of these
license keys will correspond to one of the following predened license packs enabling ‘n’ number
of devices: 1, 5, 25, 100, 500, or 3000 seats. These license packs will combine to form the
number of endpoints that can register with Global Management System.
Adding more Licenses
In order to increase the number of licenses that are currently supported, the user will have to
purchase a new license pack of 1, 5, 25, 100, 500 or 3000. This new license key can be added to
the current installation of Global Management System to increase the seat count appropriately.
Demo version
A fully functional demo version of Global Management System is only available for evaluation
purposes. Each demo version allows for 3 endpoints to be managed for 90 days. Each demo
must also have an demo code entered into Global Management System to be operable. To
obtain an demo code, please go to this website: http://extranet.polycom.com and go to the
Global Management System downloads area.
The 3-user demo version is not a registered license and cannot be coupled with registered
license keys. For example, if a 5-Pack license key was purchased, it cannot be coupled with the
3-user demo to generate 8 registered licenses.
