Keycode Installation Guide
Chapter 1
Obtaining a keycode
This guide tells an installer how to obtain and enable software keycodes.
You require a keycode to enable software features on the Business Communications Manager
(BCM) system. The keycode is a 24-digit code that authenticates the feature or bundle of features
you purchased for your BCM.
To obtain a keycode you require the following:
• feature authorization code for the BCM
•systemID
The authorization code is a six-digit code you receive for each of the features you purchase.
The authorization code is on the label affixed to the keycode information sheet.
The system ID is a unique number for your BCM. You can find the system ID:
• on the product packaging label
• in Element Manager
• using the telset-based administration interface
In the BCM Element Manager, the sequence number indicates how many times the keycode has
been modified. Each time the keycode is modified, the sequence number increases by 1. The key
type identifies the method of authentication for the keycode. For BCM, only type 2 keys are
supported.
Adding a keycode to your system involves:
1“Determining the BCM system ID” on page 4
2“Obtaining Web keycodes” on page 5
3“Entering keycodes on the BCM system” on page 9
Note: You receive one keycode whether you purchase one feature or a bundle of
features, but you receive an authorization code for each feature you purchase. For
example, if you have one feature, you receive one authorization code and one
keycode. If you purchase four features, you receive four authorization codes and
one keycode.
Note: For BCM 3.x releases, the BCM200, BCM400, and BCM1000 hardware
required a separate keycode for each feature and an authorization code for each
feature. For BCM 4.0, however, the BCM200, BCM400, and BCM1000 hardware
requires only one keycode for one feature or a bundle of features, but one
authorization code for each feature you purchase. BCM50 requires only one
keycode for one feature or a bundle of features, and one authorization code for
each feature you purchase.

Determining the BCM system ID
Before you can obtain a software keycode, you must determine the system ID for your BCM
system. When you add a keycode, you must make sure the keycode file name matches the system
ID for which it is generated.
You can find the system ID in Element Manager and on the product packaging (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 Product label sample
To use Element Manager to find your system ID
1Log on to Element Manager and select the BCM system for which you want to find the system
identification number.
For information about how to log on to Element Manager, refer to your administration guide.
2On the Task Navigation Panel, select the Configuration tab.
The configuration folders appear.
3Select the System folder.
4Click Keycodes.
The system ID appears in the System ID field.

Web browser or Element Manager.
You must be a registered user to access this system. To register, access the Nortel Keycode
Retrieval System Web page at: http://www.nortel.com/servsup/krs.
To obtain a keycode using a Web browser
1Access the Nortel Keycode Retrieval System at:
http://www.nortel.com/servsup/krs
2Select the login location that applies to you.
This is the location you want to use to access the Keycode Retrieval System.
3Select the product family option that applies to you.
For the BCM system, select Business Communications Manager or Business Communications
Manager 50.
4Enter your username and password.
Use the username and password from the KRS registration process.
5Click OK.
6Select the Keycode Retrieval System option that applies to you.
7Enter the system ID in the Enter System ID field.
For example: 000A0AA0A00
See “Determining the BCM system ID” on page 4.
8Click Continue.
9Enter the authorization code for the feature in the Auth Code field.
10 Click Add.
The system validates the authorization code and adds the feature to the feature list.
11 Repeat steps 7 and 8 until all of the authorization codes are added.
You can enter up to 100 authorization codes before you generate the keycode.
Note: To obtain your keycode file, you must have your system ID, your
authorization codes, and your user name and password from the Nortel Keycode
Retrieval System.
Note: Ensure the customer registration information is entered for this system.
Select Customer Registration in the main menu options to verify the customer
registration information is entered. Without proper customer registration, an error
appears when requesting keycode generation.

12 After you have added all the authorization codes, click Continue.
A Web page appears with your system ID, the list of authorization codes, and a table of the
features.
At this point, if the customer registration information has not previously been entered for this
system, the Keycode Retrieval System displays an error and asks you to enter the information
by selecting Customer Registration in the main menu options.
13 Verify that the system ID, authorization codes, and feature list are correct.
aIf yes, click Generate Keycode.
bIf no, click Cancel to re-enter the authorization codes.

The keycode file contains the 24-digit keycode, sequence number, and list of features and data
values.
15 Do one of the following:
• Download the keycode file to your computer. Click Download Keycode.
You can use this file to copy the keycode into your BCM system. Loading this keycode
file into your BCM is the fastest and easiest installation method. The default name of the
keycode file contains the system ID within the file name to help you keep track of the files
that belong to each system.
• Record the keycode. To do this, write down the information, print the file, or copy and
paste the information into another document.
To obtain a keycode using Element Manager
1Log on to Element Manager and select the BCM system you want to access.
For information about how to log on to Element Manager, refer to your administration guide.
2On the Task Navigation Panel, select the Configuration tab.
The configuration folders appear.
3Select the System folder and then select Keycodes.

Note: Nortel recommends that you download the keycode file to your computer.
If you download the keycode file rather than enter it manually, you will reduce the
chance of error.
Warning: Do not alter the name or the contents of the generated keycode file. If
you change the file, the keycode becomes invalid and the BCM rejects the file.

Try ’N Buy keycode
You can use the Try ’N Buy keycode to sample features on the BCM. You can evaluate the
Try ’N Buy features for 60 days from the date the keycode is generated.
The Try ’N Buy feature is not available when the expiry date is reached. You cannot extend the
expiry date or obtain another Try ’N Buy keycode for the feature on that BCM system. If you want
to continue using the feature, you must purchase the appropriate keycode and install it.
The new keycode file for the Try ’N Buy feature allows you to try all of the features installed on
the BCM. For example, if you have Unified Messaging installed on your BCM and you decide to
add a Try ’N Buy feature, the new keycode files include Unified Messaging and the Try ’N Buy
feature.
To obtain a Try ’N Buy keycode
1Access the Nortel KRS at:
http://www.nortel.com/servsup/krs

Manually adding a keycode using Element Manager
If you do not have a keycode file saved to your computer that uploads automatically, you can enter
the keycode file information manually. For example, you can enter keycode information that your
distributor faxes to you.
You need the information from the keycode file to complete this procedure. You must have the:
• sequence number
• list of features and data values
• expiry date of Try ‘N Buy feature (if applicable)
• 24-digit keycode
To manually add a keycode file
1Log on to Element Manager and select the BCM you want to access.

2On the Task Navigation Panel, select the Configuration tab.
The Configuration folders appear.
3Select the System folder and then click the Keycodes task.
The Keycodes panel appears.
4Click Modify Feature Licences Table.
The Modify Features Licences Table window appears.
5In the Modify Features Licences Table box, verify that the sequence number in the
Sequence # box is identical to the sequence number in the new keycode file.
6In the Feature Licences table, select the feature you want to modify, and click the number in
the Data column.
7Modify the data feature value to ensure it is identical to the value in the new keycode file.
8Click a feature name to allow the data you entered to be accepted.
Note: The sequence number increases by one each time you obtain a new
keycode file. Element Manager should automatically increase the sequence
number.
Note: If the sequence numbers do not match, manually correct the number so it is
identical to the sequence number in the new keycode file.
