Adder AIMLIC-48-BCK – AIM License, 48 Endpoints, Primary + Failover

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-48-BCK is an ADDERLink INFINITY Manager license that enables 48 managed endpoints across a redundant pair of AIM servers — one primary and one backup/failover unit. This AIM endpoint license for primary and failover servers is the standard way to scale a high-availability ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) IP KVM matrix beyond the 24 endpoints included with the base AIM hardware. Delivered as an electronic license key, the 48-endpoint KVM matrix license applies to existing servers with no additional hardware. It suits mid-sized control room and broadcast deployments that require failover protection.

Product Description

ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM, SKU ASP-001) is the management server that turns ALIF endpoints into an IP KVM matrix over standard IP networks, delivering any-station-to-any-computer routing, co-operative sharing of computers, and video multicasting. Each AIM server ships licensed for 24 endpoints; AIMLIC licenses raise that ceiling through 48, 96, 192, and 288 endpoint tiers up to unlimited.

The "-BCK" suffix on this SKU means the license covers both the primary AIM server and a backup/failover unit. In redundant deployments the standby server must carry the same endpoint capacity as the primary; otherwise it cannot assume management of the full matrix during a failover event. AIMLIC-48-BCK keeps both units licensed at 48 endpoints in a single purchase.

Activation is by electronic license key applied to the AIM servers — there is no dongle, appliance, or rack work involved, and the matrix continues operating while capacity is expanded. As the installation grows further, "UPG" licenses move the pair to higher tiers without repurchasing the base capacity. New deployments should pair this license with the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001-US) server; the complete endpoint range is in our Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• 48-Endpoint Capacity — Doubles the 24-endpoint base license so the AIM-managed ALIF matrix can grow to 48 transmitters and receivers.
• Primary + Failover Coverage — One SKU licenses both AIM servers in a redundant pair, ensuring the backup can manage the full matrix.
• Electronic License Key — No extra hardware; the license applies to AIM servers already in service without downtime.
• Full Matrix Feature Set — Any-station-to-any-computer routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting operate across all licensed endpoints.
• Clear Upgrade Path — AIMLIC UPG licenses later move the pair to 96, 192, 288, or unlimited endpoints.
• Standard IP Network Operation — The licensed matrix runs over standard IP networks with no proprietary switching required.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio galleries and master control rooms with redundant AIM management
• Government spaces that mandate failover for operator-to-computer routing
• Training rooms sharing pools of computers among instructor and trainee stations

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What hardware does this license require?
An ADDERLink INFINITY Manager server (ASP-001). For "-BCK" coverage you should be running, or planning, a primary and a backup AIM unit.

I only run one AIM server — is this the right SKU?
No. Single-server deployments use the primary-only AIMLIC-48 license. The "-BCK" variant exists specifically for redundant pairs.

Does the base AIM server already include endpoints?
Yes, the ASP-001 ships licensed for 24 endpoints. This license raises capacity to 48 on both servers in the pair.

Can I expand beyond 48 endpoints later?
Yes. AIMLIC "UPG" licenses upgrade between tiers — 48 to 96, 96 to 288, and onward to unlimited — without repurchasing the base capacity.

How is the license delivered and installed?
As an electronic license key applied to the AIM servers. No hardware changes or downtime are required.
