can be phoned.

2.4 Managing Licenses

When you obtain Bria, you purchase a license with a specified number of seats. Each time a user enters the
license key, the license count is drawn down on the CounterPath license database. When the count is drawn
down to 0, then the next time the key is entered, an error message appears for that user.

You can either increase your license count or revoke unused seats. To revoke seats, go to ww.counterpath.com,
click the Store link, click the Your Account link, and log in.

Users on the same computer can use the same license but they all need to enter it first time they run the client
(the key is saved to own home folder so other users cannot read it).

Therefore, if you seem to have drawn down more license counts than expected, the problem may be that one or
more guests have used seats. You can request that CounterPath revoke these licenses in order to reinstate the
number of seats actually in use.

Setting up for the Licensing Server

Periodically, Bria connects to CounterPath’s license server in order to verify that a valid license is being used.
Therefore, at all times, Bria will need to have an internet connection.

Bria connects to https://secure.counterpath.com via port 443; make sure your firewall allows this HTTPS traffic
to this URL.
