Version 5.8 introduces a new Simplified Licensing model for Contact Center Enterprise and Business Edition, Call Accounting, and Intelligent Queue. For complete details on the new Simplified Licensing model, see the Contact Center Solutions and Call Accounting System Engineering Guide.
NOTE: The new Simplified Licensing model no longer supports the concurrent licensing model for Multimedia Contact Center, Contact Center Screen Pop, Salesforce.com Client and CTI Toolkit Client. All licensing now must be assigned to a user. Any customer claiming concurrency will be managed on a case-by-case basis by prairieFyre Software. Please contact miccsales@mitel.com to be granted additional licensing. It is important to remember that once additional licensing is granted, you will be required to pay Software Assurance on the new licensing upon renewal of your Software Assurance.
The following section details licensing migration information. For device specific migration information pertaining to upgrading to Version 5.8 and the new Simplified Licensing model, see See "Device specific migration information" on page 1.
Contact Center Starter Pack software upgrades
When upgrading to Version 5.8, the level of Contact Center Starter Pack granted will be equal to the highest level of Contact Center features and functionality owned.
If Basic Contact Center features are owned (Contact Center Management reporting and real time), a Contact Center Basic Starter Pack will be granted.
If Standard Contact Center features are owned (Basic features plus Interactive Contact Center, Contact Center PhoneSet Manager, Enterprise Presence and Chat, and Traffic Analysis), a Contact Center Standard Starter Pack will be granted.
If Advanced Contact Center features are owned (Standard features plus Resiliency, Interactive Visual Queue, your choice of Salesforce.com Client, or CTI Toolkit Client, and Contact Center Screen Pop), a Contact Center Advanced Starter Pack will be granted.
If Premium Contact Center features are owned (Advanced features plus Multimedia Contact Center—email, fax, SMS, and Web chat), a Contact Center Premium Starter Pack will be granted.
NOTE:
For sites where a a subset of Basic, Standard, Advanced, and Premium features are owned, a mixture of Basic, Standard, Advanced, and Premium agents will be granted, and the Starter Pack provided will align with the highest feature set owned.
In regions where Call Accounting is supported, Contact Center sites will automatically be granted a Call Accounting Starter Pack, including 50 Call Accounting extensions and Traffic Analysis.
A Contact Center Network License is granted for sites with Resilient agents, Enterprise nodes or Gateway nodes.
All connectors owned will be granted an equivalent connector license in the new model.
System Administrators
System Administrators have access to all Contact Center, Call Accounting, Intelligent Queue software and IVR Routing software (if licensed) for the purposes of configuration and network and system administration. System Administrators are now a purchasable option for use with Contact Center Solutions applications.

Two complimentary System Administrators are included with your initial purchase of a Contact Center, Call Accounting, or Intelligent Queue Starter Pack.
No additional complimentary System Administrators are provided when you are granted a Contact Center Starter Pack, along with a complimentary Call Accounting Starter Pack, or when you purchase additional Intelligent Queue or IVR Routing Starter Packs. Additional System Administrators must be purchased separately.
For the purposes of migration only, one System Administrator will be provided for every increment of 50 agents owned. On or before the first Software Assurance renewal after migration, should you wish to reduce or increase the amount of System Administrators owned, please contact miccsales@mitel.com to modify your licensing. It is important to note that once additional licensing is granted, you will be required to pay Software Assurance on the new licensing upon renewal of your Software Assurance

When you select this option historical data for the employee continues to be stored and the employee's name is removed from all Contact Center Client device selection lists.
CAUTION: If data exists for an employee who was previously licensed but is currently unlicensed, that data can be accessed in reports. However, if a summarization is done after the employee is no longer licensed, there is a risk that the collected data could be lost.

Device specific migration information
This section provides a detailed overview of how devices configured in YourSite Explorer are migrated to Simplified Licensing when you upgrade to Version 5.8. These rules also apply when you restore a pre-Version 5.8 backup on a Version 5.8 Enterprise Server.
When upgrading to Version 5.8
If 3300 ICP media servers are programmed with the previous maximum of 500 MiTAI monitors, each 3300 ICP media server in your enterprise is upgraded to 800 maximum MiTAI monitors.
If agents, extensions, and queues were enabled with Advanced real time and reporting, they are upgraded to be enabled for the same features and functionality.
NOTE: The Advanced real time and reporting option available in pre-Version 5.8 releases is no longer exposed in Version 5.8. All agents, extensions, and queues are now configured for the features and functionality available with Advanced real time and reporting by default in Version 5.8.
If employees configured in YourSite Explorer
- were not enabled with Advanced real time and reporting, their default employee license will be set to None.
- were enabled with Advanced real time and reporting, there was a Multimedia Contact Center media server configured, and at least one of the associated agents was a multimedia agent, their default employee license will be set to Premium.
- were enabled with Advanced real time and reporting and at least one of the associated agents or extensions were configured with a failover media server, their default employee license will be set to Advanced. If this same scenario was encountered in a Contact Center Business Edition configuration, their default employee license will be set to either Reporting or Desktop to align with what they had prior to upgrading, with Multimedia Contact Center enabled..
- were assigned a security role that enabled them to use soft phone or were assigned either of the two system security roles (Local Administrator or Enterprise Administrator), they will be assigned a soft phone license. If this same scenario was encountered in a Contact Center Business Edition configuration, they would be assigned a Desktop, Integrated Client, and Softphone license.
- and none of the previous four scenarios applied, they will be assigned a Basic employee license. However, if no Basic licenses remain, an attempt will be made to upgrade them to a Standard, Advanced or Premium employee license in an effort to avoid over-licensing employees. If no Standard, Advanced or Premium licenses remain, employees will be assigned a Basic employee license. In this scenario, you must either manually reassign employee licenses so you are no over licensed or contact miccsales@mitel.com to be granted or purchase additional licensing.
- were assigned either of the two system security roles (Local Administrator or Enterprise Administrator) or their security role enabled them to manage Workforce Scheduling, they will be assigned an Advanced Supervisor license.
NOTE: If you did not previously use security roles and had employees using client applications and configured with a username and password in YourSite Explorer, these employees would have been automatically configured with the default security role of Local Administrator. After upgrading to Version 5.8, all employees with the Local Administrator security role will be assigned a Premium Supervisor license. This may result in an over licensing scenario and you will not be able to edit employees associated to these over licensed supervisors in YourSite Explorer until you correct the licensing or purchase additional Premium Supervisor licenses.
Once you have successfully upgraded to Version 5.8, it is important that you review your employee licensing to ensure that you have not consumed more licenses than you have been granted and that employees have the appropriate security roles associated to them. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your Mitel approved vendor.
