Alcatel Unleashed

I'm on a mission to get an upgrade on and old OXE R10 and i've been told by BP that I need to buy new licensing...
I've been considering ALE as long as I can pass on my actual licensing, wich is humongous and very costly to replace.
Do I really need to buy all new licenses?

ALE uses a software called ACTIS in order to generate configurations, add-ons, and licenses upgrades.
The latest version of ACTIS only allows you to create new systems or upgrade to version R100.1 , R101, and R101.1
So yes - It's costly, but you'll benefit tremendously from new features and phones. I always say.. A phone - even though it does not look like something important - always has an impact on your staff (old phone = feels like company is old as shit) and your customers (old phones = company is not up to date comparing to what other companies offer). Make a test. Walk in an office with an old computer and old phone, then walk in an office with a newer computer and new phone. Feeling will be different!

Also if you had SPS contract, your cost would be probably minimal..
