Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for automated licensing of features in the course of upgrading a first communication system to a second communication system, a computer program and a licensing system for carrying out such a method.
- Modern communication systems such as small, medium and large enterprise telephone systems, are configurable and scalable in many ways, for example using CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) and CSTA (Computer Supported Telecommunications Applications).
- the defined features are usually activated via licensing in the form of a license file.
- An upgrade or upgrade of such a system often involves a change in the level of features to be licensed.
- the reason for this can be legal reasons (for example, licensing payments to licensors), business reasons (for example, if customers should pay for a feature in a new version), or technical reasons (for example, many old systems can have so many TDM devices connected, as there are ports, while in a new system for each connected TDM device is a license to acquire) his.
- TDM stands for Time Domain Multiplex and identifies a telecommunication terminal, which is a
- Time-division multiplexing uses, as is the case for example with "conventional" terminals, such as cordless telephones, but not so-called IP telephones.
- the PM then manually submits the new licenses to the customer's license account, which has provided the relevant evidence.
- the PM must estimate in advance how many licenses are required for upgrades or upgrades.
- the present invention has for its object to overcome these disadvantages and to provide a method for performing a licensing of features when upgrading a communication system, a corresponding computer program or computer program product and a suitable licensing system, thus providing a simple, secure and cost-effective upgrading or Upgrading a communication system is possible.
- the inventive method thus triggers the previously customary manual workflow by an automated procedure. This allows the process to be carried out in a simple and cost-effective manner, and it is not necessary to buy and pay for licenses in advance which will be used later. By extracting the upgradable features Existing databases and transmission to the license server will ensure easy and automated process execution.
- the step of extracting the features to be licensed from the database comprises a step of reading out these features from the first communication system and depositing them in a customer data store.
- these data or features can be transmitted compactly as a unit, which can be done in binary form, for example, by means of an appropriate software tool.
- the step of transferring the features to be licensed to the license server comprises a step of transferring the converted contents of the customer data store to the second communication system and additionally a step of generating and transferring an inventory file to the license server.
- this inventory file for example, all customer data - at least the most important customer data - are contained as "inventory.” The security of the transfer as well as the protection against misuse can be considerably increased if the inventory file is cryptographically signed.
- license authorization code also called license authorization code
- This license authorization code specifies the licensed features, ie those
- the license authorization code can be z.
- a license order for a version upgrade and, where appropriate, for additional licenses it may be advantageous for the license server to carry out a checking step as to whether the first communication system has not yet been upgraded. This avoids the possibility of upgrading an old system without a license through an upgrade license.
- the license server it may be advantageous for the license server to carry out a checking step in order to prevent a renewed upgrading of a further second communication system.
- a lock table is created by taking the MAC address of old hardware, which is to be removed by replacing it with new hardware from circulation, so that this old hardware is not still using an upgrade license can be upgraded. This represents a significant limitation of abuse possibilities.
- a licensing system comprises a first communication system, a second communication system (which need not necessarily differ from the first communication system in terms of hardware and / or software) and a license server.
- a licensing system comprises a first communication system, a second communication system (which need not necessarily differ from the first communication system in terms of hardware and / or software) and a license server.
- the advantages and features described with regard to the previously described methods are analogously also present in the licensing system according to the invention and will therefore not be described again.
- no pre-licenses are required by the method according to the invention or the computer program and licensing system according to the invention, for which reason the royalty payment for the licensor must be made only at the time at which the licenses are required.
- an upgrade can optionally be carried out without ordering licenses, if permitted by the system. A use case for this could be, for example, that the new or additional licenses are issued free of charge when switching to a new hardware.
- the inventory file preferably contains all previous features (ie without any consideration of the new features introduced by the upgrade).
- FIGURE schematically shows the individual components of a licensing system 10 according to the invention with the correspondingly executed processes.
- a first communication system 11 and a second communication system 12 are shown, wherein the first communication system 11 represents an old system and accordingly the second communication system 12 is a new system, ie has a changed hardware.
- the two communication systems 11, 12 can also be identical in terms of hardware and differ only in terms of different software and / or licenses.
- a telecommunication system called OSO MX V3 from Siemens Enterprise Communications may be indicated, while as the second communication system 12, a next generation communication system called
- NextGenSME is used in an exemplary way.
- the customer data is read from the first communication system 11 and stored in a so-called customer data memory KDS
- This customer data memory KDS is then transmitted in the form of a binary file to the ManagerE
- the number of features that are not licensed in the legacy system of the first communication device 11, but are defined by other features such as a corresponding hardware equipment is stored in the present example the number of physically installed TDM devices or TDM users. These are to be considered in the course of the version upgrade, whereby this hitherto free available feature in the new product version (for example, NextGenSME) should be licensed.
- the number of features to be upgraded (here as an example TDM user) is determined from the customer data memory.
- the customer data storage is supplemented with additional information (which includes, in particular, the MAC address of the system).
- the converted content KDS 'of the customer data memory KDS is transmitted to the second communication device 12.
- a so-called inventory file INV is then generated and cryptographically signed.
- the inventory file INV is transmitted via the Internet to the license server (also known as Central License Server) CLS using the WBM / CSCm interface for online licensing.
- WBM here stands for Web-Based Management, which is used to administer a communication system 11 or 12 via a web server with an interface to a browser.
- CSCm stands for Customer Site Components modular, which is an interface between the WBM and the license server and is used to connect to the license server for online licensing, download a license file LF from the license server CLS and the contents of the loaded license file To be able to read out LF and display it in the WBM.
- a license authorization code LAC is entered via the WBM, which designates a license server license order for a version upgrade, and possibly for additional licenses.
- the license server CLS can check the signature and make sure that the original system has not yet been upgraded based on the MAC address transferred in the inventory file and a block list created in a database DB .
- the transmitted license authorization code LAC can be used to check whether the licenses required for the planned upgrade are available (paid).
- the license server CLS generates the license file LF for the second communication system 12 taking into account the data in the inventory file as well as the acquired licenses that are referenced via the license authorization code LAC.
- the license server CLS enters the MAC address from the inventory file in the blacklist. If an attempt is then made to upgrade a corresponding communication system whose MAC address is listed in the revocation list, an error message appears and the licensing is aborted. This considerably increases the security against abuse.
- the generated license file LF (also called a license file) is again sent via the Internet interface to the second communication system 12, where it is installed. Subsequently, the second communication system 12 can be used with all upgraded features or performance features.
