3.3 License information
3.3.1 License types
The EMS application (see Table 1: Concert Server applications) is installed when you install the
Concert Server software (see the Clear-Com Concert Server Installation Guide).
During the installation of the EMS application, the 5-User Perpetual license is automatically copied to
the Concert directory: /usr/local/clearcom/concert/concert_demo.lic.
When EMS is first started, the 5-User Perpetual license activates. You have full access to the Concert
system for an unlimited time period and the ability to create up to 5 Concert users, 5 Client channels
and 8 Server channels. There are no other access restrictions.
Note:
Technical support for the 5-User Perpetual license is limited to your Concert documentation and self-
serve support resources at the Clear-Com website (
http://www.clearcom.com/support ).
To use Concert with more than 5 users, you must purchase a Concert license from Clear-Com. See the
Licensing Quick Start Guide, located on the Concert DVD, for more information.
There are two types of licenses:

Timed (1 year) license.

Perpetual license (license does not expire).
Note:
A Perpetual license only works for the Concert Server release it was purchased for (for example,
v2.7).
To upgrade the Concert Server software, you must purchase a new license. If the Concert
Server is never upgraded, the license works forever.
Important note:
Re-enabling the 5-User Perpetual license restores the limits described above. You must reduce the
number of users and channels to those limits, otherwise all Client login attempts will be denied.
