Product Notice #0379 - Software Update for AudioCodes Latest Release of SBCs & Media Gateways V7.20A.256

We are delighted to announce the release of Software Version 7.20A.256 for AudioCodes session border controllers and media gateways.

The new update incorporates a new centralized SBC licensing model called Flex License, which provides a central pool of licenses that are shared across multiple SBC instances.

The Flex Licensing model works very much like the Floating License, with a few notable differences:

• The Flex License is managed exclusively by OVOC, eliminating the need for a Cloud-based License Manager (CLM) module required in the Floating License. Flex is intended primarily for customers whose security policies prohibit communication to the public cloud for the purpose of metering.
  
  
• Unlike the Floating License, which allows SBCs to exceed pool capacity and therefore bills customers for the extra license usage, the Flex License gracefully enforces its purchased license capacity – eliminating traffic bursts and any additional charges they would otherwise incur.
