Adder AIMLIC-UNL-BCK – Unlimited Endpoint AIM License with Failover

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UNL-BCK is an unlimited endpoint AIM software license for the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001), designed for organizations building large-scale IP KVM matrix deployments with no ceiling on growth. This license removes endpoint count restrictions entirely, allowing the AIM server to manage an unrestricted number of ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers across a standard IP network. Critically, the -BCK designation means this single license covers both the primary AIM server and a backup failover AIM unit, giving integrators and IT managers a redundant KVM management architecture out of the box. For control rooms, broadcast facilities, and enterprise campuses where downtime is not an option, this is the top-tier AIM license in the ADDERLink INFINITY ecosystem.

Product Description

The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager transforms a collection of ALIF extender endpoints into a coordinated, high-performance IP KVM matrix running over standard gigabit IP networks. With AIM in place, any user station can be routed to any connected computer, multiple operators can co-operatively share machines, and video can be multicast to many receivers without compromising image quality or control responsiveness. The AIMLIC-UNL-BCK license unlocks that capability at unlimited scale.

In a typical commercial deployment, the primary and backup AIM appliances are installed together in a single 1U rack space, with the backup unit providing automatic failover for 24/7 operational continuity. Each AIM appliance carries dual network interfaces — two SFP ports plus one RJ45 port at 1GbE — which can be independently routed across separate network segments or teamed for throughput and resilience. Satellite AIM appliances can be added to extend management across distributed sites. Because the license is delivered electronically and applied directly to the AIM server, there is no additional hardware to procure, rack, or cable; capacity expansion is a software operation. For system designers planning a large IP KVM matrix installation, the unlimited tier eliminates future re-licensing cycles as the endpoint count grows. The base ADDERLink INFINITY Manager ASP-001 ships licensed for 24 endpoints, so this license is the direct path from a starter deployment to an enterprise-wide matrix. If failover coverage is not required, a primary-only AIMLIC-UNL license is also available.

Key Features

• Unlimited Endpoint Capacity — Removes all endpoint count restrictions so the AIM server can manage an unrestricted number of ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers.
• Primary + Failover Coverage — One license activates both the primary AIM server and a backup AIM unit for redundant, 24/7 KVM matrix management.
• Full IP KVM Matrix Control — Enables any-to-any routing between user stations and connected computers across the entire matrix.
• Co-operative Computer Sharing — Multiple operators can share access to the same machines, supporting collaborative control room workflows.
• Video Multicasting — Distributes video from one source to many receivers without compromising video quality or control performance.
• Standard IP Network Operation — Runs over existing 1GbE infrastructure, avoiding proprietary cabling and simplifying commercial deployment.
• Compact Redundant Footprint — Primary and backup AIM appliances fit together in a single 1U rack space.
• Electronic Delivery — Supplied as a digital license key applied to the AIM server; no additional hardware required.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studios coordinating large numbers of production machines across operator positions
• Government spaces requiring redundant, secure KVM management at scale
• Commercial meeting spaces and corporate campuses with enterprise-wide KVM matrix requirements
• Training rooms where many user stations share access to a central pool of computers
• Auditoriums and multi-purpose rooms tied into facility-wide AV-over-IP control infrastructure

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AIMLIC-UNL-BCK compatible with my existing AIM server?

Yes. This license applies to the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001), which ships licensed for 24 endpoints. Applying AIMLIC-UNL-BCK expands that server — plus a backup AIM unit — to unlimited endpoint capacity.

Does this license cover a backup AIM appliance?

Yes. The -BCK designation means the license covers both the primary AIM server and a backup/failover AIM unit, supporting redundant 24/7 operation.

How is the license installed?

The license is delivered electronically as a digital key and applied directly to the AIM server. No additional hardware is required, and there is no need to take the matrix offline for a hardware swap.

What endpoints can the AIM server manage with this license?

AIM manages ADDERLink INFINITY series transmitters and receivers, turning them into a unified IP KVM matrix with any-to-any routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting.

How does failover work in a redundant AIM deployment?

A backup AIM appliance runs alongside the primary; both units fit in a single 1U rack space. For 24/7 reliability, satellite appliances can also be added across distributed sites. Each appliance has dual network interfaces (2× SFP plus 1× RJ45, 1GbE) that can be independently routed or teamed.

I do not need failover — is there a primary-only option?

Yes. The AIMLIC-UNL license provides unlimited endpoint capacity for a primary AIM server only. Browse the full Adder Technology collection for other tiers.
