VoipNow licenses
Clients can easily plan their costs according to the communication requirements of their infrastructures. The maximum number of SIP trunking channels is given by the license and user types.
The number of SIP trunking channels is computed based on the total number of Maximum public concurrent calls set for the users.
You cannot enable SIP trunking if the Maximum public concurrent calls is set to Unlimited. For more information, refer to the User Limits section.
| User type | License type | SIP trunking status/No. of extensions | Maximum no. of SIP trunking channels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business user | All license types (Owned, Leased and Evaluation) | The number does not depend on SIP trunking being enabled or not | Equal to the number of extensions the license is issued for, but no more than 100 |
| Service provider | Owned license type | SIP trunking disabled | 0 |
| SIP trunking enabled | unlimited | ||
| Leased or Evaluation | License issued for < 100 extensions | equal to extension limit | |
| License issued for > 100 extensions | unlimited |
