PTP820s Act.Key - Capacity upgrade

Hi.
I have a question about PTP820 capacity licences.

Let's say that customer has 100M license on a link and would like to upgrade to 300M/500M. To do that, customer has to buy license for 300/500M, not just the upgrade from X to 300/500M? I was thinking that the license should be cheaper to upgrade from X to 300/500M than a license for whole 300/500M capacity?

Kind regards

Hi AnzeZ,

We have simplified our PTP820 capacity keys and just have the following now - 100/500/650 Mbps as well as upgades from X to 500/650 Mbps. You can get pricing from your VAR or disty. It looks like the MSRP for the 500/650 Mbps keys are priced identically to the upgrades from X to 500/650 Mbps keys so you might as well buy the maximum capacity key if you think you'll need it.

That's true. Also licensing is going to change on 1.4.2019 (PMB-1327), it will be much easier and simplified for everybody.

I was hoping for a cheaper license when upgrading from X to Y...

Kind regards
