Adder AIMLIC-UPG-48-192 – 48 to 192 Endpoint Upgrade

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-48-192 is an AIM license upgrade that expands a primary ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) server from 48 endpoints to 192 endpoints. It targets growing KVM-over-IP deployments where the original 48-endpoint license has been outgrown by new operator stations and source machines. Delivered electronically as a license key, the upgrade quadruples managed capacity on the existing AIM server with no hardware changes. The IP KVM matrix continues operating with the same routing, sharing, and multicasting capabilities at the larger scale.

Product Description

The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager ASP-001 transforms ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) extender endpoints into a high-performance IP KVM matrix over standard IP networks. Capacity is governed by AIMLIC license tiers — 48, 96, 192, 288, and unlimited — and this UPG SKU moves an existing 48-endpoint license directly to the 192-endpoint tier, bypassing the 96 step for deployments that have grown quickly.

At 192 endpoints, AIM can coordinate a substantial estate of user stations and computers: any station can be routed to any machine, operators can co-operatively share computers, and video can be multicast to multiple destinations without compromising video quality or control. This supports control-room consolidation projects where racks of computers are relocated to a central equipment room and operators connect over the IP network.

The AIM server occupies 1U of rack space with dual network interfaces (2× SFP + 1× RJ45, 1GbE) that can be routed independently or teamed. This SKU licenses the primary AIM server only; redundant deployments with a backup/failover unit should use the corresponding "-BCK" upgrade. Should the deployment continue to grow, further upgrades to 288 or unlimited endpoints are available, along with compatible ALIF hardware in the Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• 48 to 192 Endpoint Upgrade — Quadruples the managed capacity of a primary AIM server in one license purchase.
• Skips the 96 Tier — Moves directly from 48 to 192 endpoints for deployments growing faster than planned.
• Electronic Delivery — Supplied as a license key applied to the AIM server; no additional hardware required.
• IP KVM Matrix Routing — Connects any user station to any networked computer under central AIM management.
• Co-operative Sharing and Multicasting — Supports shared computer access and video multicast to multiple destinations without quality loss.
• 1U Server Footprint — The AIM unit fits in 1U with dual network interfaces (2× SFP + 1× RJ45, 1GbE), independently routed or teamed.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio growth projects adding galleries, edit bays, and playout positions
• Government spaces expanding secure desktop-to-equipment-room switching
• Training rooms scaling from pilot installations to full facility coverage
• Commercial meeting spaces and multi-purpose rooms added to an existing matrix

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the prerequisite for this upgrade?
An ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001) currently licensed for 48 endpoints. The key raises that server to 192 endpoints.

Does it cover a backup AIM server?
No. This SKU upgrades the primary AIM server only. Use the matching "-BCK" upgrade for primary plus backup/failover pairs.

Is hardware included?
No. The upgrade is delivered electronically as a license key; it applies to your existing AIM server through its management interface.

Will the upgrade disrupt my current configuration?
Existing channels, users, and endpoint settings are preserved; the upgrade changes only the licensed capacity. Apply the key during a maintenance window per Adder's guidance.

What if I later exceed 192 endpoints?
Further UPG SKUs move the license to 288 or unlimited endpoints, so the platform scales without replacing the AIM server.
