Details on each user profile: https://www.wildix.com/licensing/.

Per User licensing is available for any PBX type:

...

    • Model: select WPBX-CLOUD for Cloud / WPBX-VM/HW for Virtual or Hardware

    • Region (only for Cloud PBX): select the datacenter region

    • Name: PBX domain name by which your PBX is accessible via the browser; in the example provided below, the PBX can be accessed by URL https://elenatest2.wildixin.com

    • Expire: select the recurring billing period: monthly / yearly / lifetime (lifetime is not available for Cloud PBX)

    • PBX-BASIC / UC-Essential / UC-Business / UC-Premium / UC-Wizyconf Room / UC-Wizywebinar / PBX-Service: add the number of users of each profile (more about each profile: https://www.wildix.com/licensing/)

      Note

      Note: Starting from May 2022, Wizyconf Station is available as HWaaS only and Wizyconf Room license is added to the PBX with the Wizyconf Station purchase automatically. No need to buy the license.


    • Storage size and enable Static IP (only for Cloud PBX): increase Cloud instance storage size. For more details, refer to the chapter: Increase storage on Cloud PBX

      Note

      Note: Starting from July 1 2021 onward, all PBXs will get a dynamic IP address by default. If you need to reserve static IP for your Cloud PBX, there are several options:

      • Switch to CLASSOUND to provide a more modern service
      • Ask your provider to switch from the IP-based authentication to the password/login one
      • Buy the storage (If you have previously purchased an extra storage, the IP is reserved)


    • x-caracal: tick the option to activate x-caracal ACD stats service on this PBX. Important: make sure you add at least 10 Business/ Premium + 1 Premium licenses on this PBX to be able to activate x-caracal. More information on how to activate x-caracal on the WMS side: x-caracal documentation. Important: x-caracal is supported only on Cloud or Virtual PBXs, Hardware PBXs are not supported. Make sure you have the min. required WMS version
    • MS-PhoneSystem: this is an extension of the teams4Wildix (integration of Microsoft Teams with Wildix PBX). It requires the CLASSOUND service to be activated on the PBX. Important: Make sure you have the min. required WMS version
    • Commitment: enabling this option, you commit to keep the PBX up and running for 3 or 5 years (depending on your choice), without possibility to make changes to the service. The discount of 15% (for 3-year Commitment) or 20% (for 5-year Commitment) is added to the existing licenses after renewal. Any amendment requests should be evaluated by Customer Care. See more information on Customer Care FAQ page
