Adder AIMLIC-UPG-288-UNL – AIM License Upgrade, 288 to Unlimited Endpoints

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-288-UNL is an ADDERLink INFINITY Manager license upgrade that moves a primary AIM server from 288 managed endpoints to unlimited. This AIM license upgrade is the final capacity step for large ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) IP KVM matrix deployments, removing the endpoint ceiling entirely so the installation can continue scaling without further license purchases. As an electronic license key for the AIM server, the unlimited endpoint KVM matrix upgrade applies to the existing appliance with no new hardware and no downtime.

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. Capacity is licensed in tiers — 24 endpoints in the base server, then 48, 96, 192, and 288 via AIMLIC licenses, with unlimited as the top tier.

This SKU is the primary-only upgrade from the 288-endpoint tier to unlimited. It applies to a single AIM server already licensed at 288; once activated, that server manages an unrestricted number of ALIF transmitters and receivers. Deployments running a backup/failover AIM unit should choose the "-BCK" variant (AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-288-UNL) instead, so the standby server is upgraded in step with the primary.

Removing the endpoint ceiling is most relevant to facilities in continuous growth — broadcast plants adding production areas, campus operations consolidating equipment rooms, and control facilities expanding operator positions — where per-tier license administration becomes its own overhead. After this upgrade, endpoint count is governed only by network and hardware design. The license applies to the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001-US) server; matching endpoints and accessories are in our Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• 288 to Unlimited Expansion — Removes the endpoint ceiling on a primary AIM server so the ALIF matrix scales without further license steps.
• Tier-to-Tier Upgrade Pricing — Credits the existing 288-endpoint tier rather than requiring a full unlimited license purchase.
• Electronic License Key — No additional hardware; applies to the in-service AIM server without downtime.
• Full Matrix Functionality — Any-station-to-any-computer routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting operate across the unrestricted endpoint count.
• Simplified License Administration — Eliminates future tier tracking as the deployment grows.
• Standard IP Network Operation — Scaling continues over standard IP networks with no proprietary switching.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio plants in continuous expansion across production and master control areas
• Government spaces consolidating large routed KVM estates under one AIM server
• Training rooms and technical operations facilities scaling shared computer pools campus-wide

Frequently Asked Questions

What must be in place before applying this upgrade?
A primary AIM server (ASP-001) already licensed at the 288-endpoint tier. The UPG key removes the endpoint limit on that server.

Does this cover a backup AIM server?
No. This is the primary-only variant. Redundant deployments should use AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-288-UNL, which upgrades the primary and backup pair together.

Is hardware or downtime involved?
No. The license is delivered electronically and applied to the existing AIM server.

Is there any tier above unlimited?
No. Unlimited is the top AIMLIC tier; after this upgrade, endpoint count is constrained only by your network and hardware design.

Which devices count as endpoints?
ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) transmitters and receivers managed by the AIM server over standard IP networks.
