About 9 years ago, a couple of people that were taking care of the Mitel 3300 at one of the locations, lost an ibutton to the "resilient box". (MXe machines) This particular operation is 24 hours and should see little if ANY downtime. They have purchased a virtual license, I will be setting that up soon. (Should be interesting, have not done that yet).
I know that they never replaced the ibutton and it appears they let the license lapse for that system a few years ago. Within the last year and a half, I had to replace 2 of their old MXe systems with a new MXe III each. I swapped out their ibuttons on those, everything worked and everyone was happy. (leaves me with 2 ibuttons that can be used.)
I also replaced/salvaged some old parts from both and made one working system (as far as I can see anyway, my only concern is those old hard drives that were in a systems that operated 24/7 for anywhere from 5 - 9 years.) The old IDE drives are labeled Feb 2006 and Aug 2008. How long do those things last? I have them set up and ready for a system restore if I need to put one up in a hurry.
Now, I am being asked to replace the ibutton (which is in the system from one of the new ones I swapped out) and get a license for this system that I pieced together (MXe), perhaps to use it as a backup or as a primary for a new location. If it is to be used as a resilient, what kind of licensing would be needed? One to match the full license of the primary controller?
What would be the best suggested rout to go with this? I have never been involved with the purchase of this stuff, I just maintain them and fix them when broken, someone else higher than me typically does that but they are not available.
