To expand an existing XPhone Connect system, proceed as follows:

1. Login to XPhone Connect Web-Administration

   • Open the XPhone Connect Web-Administration in your browser.

   • Log in with your administrator access data.

2. Navigating to license management

   • In the main menu, go to System settings > Licenses > License management.

3. Add additional licenses

   • Method 1: Via the integrated license management in the Web-Administration of the XPhone Server.

     • Click on Manage license package online.

     • The System ID (X-ID) is already prefilled because the XPhone system recognizes it. Enter your new license request code, which contains the additional license items, here. Click Next.

     • Here you can optionally inform your sales partner about the retrieval of licenses. Click on Next.

     • You will see an overview of your previously purchased or retrieved license request codes. At the top of the list is the new license request code. Click on Next.

     • You will also see a summary of the selected Hardware ID, the License request codes used and the e-mail address to which the new license will be sent.

     • Confirm your entries and have the licenses automatically imported into the XPhone Connect Server by clicking on Generate and install licenses.

     • You will receive a license file license.xml by email, but you do not have to import it with this method!

   • Method 2: Generate license via online license management and upload license file.

     • Determine your Hardware ID.

     • Open the Online license management in any browser.

     • Enter the license retrieval code and the security code and click Next.

     • Select the Existing customer radio button and click Next.

     • Determine the licensee using either Hardware-ID or System-ID (X-ID). Click on Next.

     • The licensee’s information is pre-filled and cannot be changed. Click on Next.

     • Here you can optionally inform your sales partner about the retrieval of licenses. Click on Next.

     • Select the Hardware ID and then click on Next.

     • You will see an overview of your previously purchased or retrieved license request codes. At the top of the list is the new license request code. Click on Next.

     • You will also see a summary of the selected Hardware ID, the License request codes used and the e-mail address to which the new license will be sent.

     • Confirm your details and have the licenses sent to you by e-mail by clicking on Generate and deliver licenses.

     • You will receive an e-mail containing the license file (license.xml). Save this file on your computer.

     • Click on Import license package in the Web Administration under System settings > Licenses > License management.

4. Checking the license activation

   • Ensure that your new licenses are correctly activated and visible in the system. To do so, follow these steps:

     • In the Web-Administration interface, navigate to System Settings > Licenses > License Management.

     • If the license retrieval was successful, a license certificate should be displayed there.

     • All ordered licenses should be listed in the overview.
