• uri. Bria recognizes a value in this column as a softphone address and considers the address as one that
can be phoned and as an address that can be used for IM/presence (if SIP is being used for IM/
presence).
• jid: Bria recognizes a value in this field as a Jabber (XMPP) address and will map this field to the
Jabber contact method for the contact. Bria considers a Jabber address as one that can be used for IM/
presence (if XMPP is being used for IM/presence).
• display-name, entry_id, given_name, surname
• business number
• pres_subscription, which instructs Bria how to subscribe to the contact. Typically, you will want to
enter “true” in this field so that Bria automatically subscribes to all imported contacts (assuming the
contact has a softphone address (if using SIP for presence) or an XMPP address (if using XMPP for
presence).
Bria for Windows and Bria for Mac handle this field in slightly different ways. See the respective user
guides for more details.
For a complete list of headings, see page 85.
3. Save the file as *.csv.
Testing
1. From the main menu, click the Contacts menu and choose Import Contacts. The Import Contacts wizard
starts.
2. As soon as you click Finish on the wizard, the Contacts tab in Bria is updated to show the imported entries.
Note that none of the entries are set up with “share online status” turned on; to share online status, users will
have to view each contact’s Profile and click the online presence checkbox.
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.
Currently, a license count can be shared by users on the same computer if the users are using the Windows
administrator or regular user accounts. However, a user who uses this computer with the Windows guest
account and starts Bria will automatically draw down the license count (assuming that a license key has already
been entered).
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. In addition, if you have explicitly set a web proxy (Start > Control Panel > Internet Options >
Connections) then Bria will use this proxy; make sure the proxy allows this traffic.
