PureConnect Licensing Technical Reference
License Types
License types determine how PureConnect controls the features, capabilities, access, and usage limits. PureConnect’s all-in-one nature means that most features and capabilities are on the server and ready for activation. To turn on a feature or capability, you only need the appropriate license.
License levels
PureConnect licenses have various levels that indicate whether a server is a production server or another type of server. The license type also dictates expiration behavior, production behavior, or system re-registration behavior.
Production
License that allows the use of all purchased features in a production environment. Production licensed servers request re-registration after one year.
Development
License or bundle of licenses that allows the creation of a development or test environment. You cannot use this license type in a production environment.
Non-ordered development
Genesys includes a small non-ordered development license at no cost when ordering a Basic or Intermediate Production Server. The license includes all Feature Licenses; and Access and Sessions licenses (8 of each).
Genesys includes a large non-ordered development license at no cost when ordering an Advanced Production Server. The license includes all Feature licenses; and Access and Sessions licenses (30 of each).
