the user needs to purchase the license:

SS7G2x product on
which the option is to be installed (the target SS7G2x).
The order ships through the normal supply channels and the user receives a paper Licence Certificate. The
certificate contains the full licence terms for using the SS7G20 software option and a unique Licence ID that
is needed to activate the licence.
When the Licence Certificate is received, the user should first read the full terms of the software licence:
• If the user does not agree with the software licence terms, they must contact their sales channel for a
refund and must not activate the software licence.
• If the user agrees the software licence terms, they can continue with the process following.
The next stage is to identify the SS7G2x on which the software option is to be activated. To do this, it is
necessary to obtain the UNIT ID for the SS7G2x, which is obtained by executing the CNSYP MML command
on the target SS7G2x.
Once the user has the Licence ID and the UNIT ID, the licence can be activated on the Dialogic

products. Licence Activation is the process of submitting the License ID and UNIT ID so that a Licence File
can be generated and sent for installation on the target SS7G2x.
