Do I need to purchase NBX Phone Licenses along with the NBX Phones?
In order to lower the total cost of ownership for small businesses, the NBX V3001 has 15 Group 2 Phone Licenses included in the base platform. Customers do not need to activate a keycode to utilize, as they are embedded on the system. The Group 2 Phone License allows a 3Com 3102 Business Phone (3C10402A) to be connected to the NBX V3001.

For example, if you purchase twenty 3102 Business Phones, you will only be required to purchase five additional Group 2 phone licenses (3C10411) in order to connect all twenty phones to the NBX V3001. These embedded licenses are included on the NBX V3001 hardware only, and are not available on the NBX 100 or SS3 NBX platforms.

Other phones such as the 3101 Basic Phone (3C10401A) and 3101SP Basic Phone with Speaker (3C10401SPKRA) require a separate Group 1 Phone License (3C10411) in order to connect to the NBX V3001. For example, in order to connect twenty 3101 Basic Phones to the NBX V3001, you will be required to purchase twenty Group 1 Phone Licenses. Same rules apply to the 3105 Attendant Console (3C10405A) which requires a Group 5 Phone License (3C10415).

Is IP on the Fly included in the NBX V3001?
As with all NBX platforms, the NBX IP on the Fly license is embedded on the NBX V3001.

What demo licenses are included in the NBX V3001?
There is one free user license of pcXset, one free port of NBX Media Driver (WAV port), and one free port of ConneXtions embedded on the NBX V3001. Note that the demo port is not added to additional ports you may purchase in the future. (For example, if you want 7 NBX Media Driver ports, you must purchase seven ports, not six ports.)
