Solution

Components of XCAPI Licensing

There are two major components of XCAPI Licensing:

• Operational - This is the part of the license that allows XCAPI to work. This is purchased for the number of lines to be used. This part of the license is not timebound, i.e., it never expires.
  
• SUS (software upgrade service) -  The software upgrade service portion of the license will allow free upgrades to the XCAPI software for 1 year. 
  
  Info! When you have a valid XCAPI license and upgrade your FaxMaker, it will also upgrade XCAPI depending on the version/build. In this case, XCAPI does not work until the SUS license is updated or the XCAPI version is downgraded.
  
  

The Trial License

XCAPI also includes a perpetual trial license. The XCAPI trial license could be used for 2 lines and it places a blue watermark on the left-hand side of the fax pages.
