Updating the Vocera License File on a Stand-alone Vocera Server

Manually install the Vocera license file when you are using a stand-alone Vocera Voice Server.

To use the Vocera Voice Server and the Vocera Report Server, you must obtain an XML license file and copy it into the Vocera Voice Server %voceradrive%\vocera\license directory either by running the Vocera Installation Program or by adding it manually. The license is an XML license file.

License updates fall into two categories:
  • Adding users or telephone lines
  • General updates NOT adding users or telephone lines

Instructions for both types of updates are included in this topic.
