Adder AIMLIC-UPG-96-UNL – 96 to Unlimited Endpoint Upgrade

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-96-UNL is an AIM license upgrade that takes a primary ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) server from 96 endpoints to unlimited endpoints in a single step. It suits integrators and IT managers whose KVM-over-IP matrix has outgrown the 96-endpoint tier and who want to remove capacity planning from future expansion. The upgrade is delivered electronically as a license key applied to the existing AIM server, with no hardware changes. Once applied, the IP KVM matrix can manage any number of ADDERLink INFINITY extender endpoints.

Product Description

The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager ASP-001 is the management server that transforms ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) extender endpoints into a high-performance IP KVM matrix over standard IP networks. The base server ships licensed for 24 endpoints, and AIMLIC licenses raise that capacity through 48, 96, 192, and 288 tiers up to unlimited. This UPG SKU is the direct path from the 96-endpoint tier straight to unlimited, skipping intermediate tiers for deployments with aggressive growth plans.

With the upgrade applied, AIM continues to provide routing of any user station to any connected computer, co-operative sharing of machines between multiple users, and video multicasting to many destinations without compromising video quality or control. The AIM server occupies 1U of rack space and offers dual network interfaces (2× SFP + 1× RJ45, 1GbE) that can be routed independently or teamed.

Jumping from 96 directly to unlimited is often more economical than stepping through 192 and 288 separately, and it eliminates repeat procurement cycles each time the matrix grows. Note that this SKU covers the primary AIM server only; sites running a backup/failover AIM unit should use the corresponding "-BCK" upgrade. Supporting ALIF transmitters, receivers, and accessories are available in the Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• 96 to Unlimited Upgrade — Moves an existing 96-endpoint AIM license directly to unlimited endpoint capacity.
• Single-Step Expansion — Skips the 192 and 288 tiers, simplifying procurement for fast-growing deployments.
• Electronic Delivery — Supplied as a license key applied to the AIM server; no additional hardware required.
• Full IP KVM Matrix — Routes any user station to any connected computer over standard IP networks.
• Co-operative Sharing and Multicasting — Multiple users can share computers, and video can be multicast to many destinations without quality loss.
• Compact 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 facilities expanding past 96 managed endpoints
• Government spaces consolidating large operator and computer estates under one matrix
• Training rooms and simulation facilities adding stations without endpoint limits
• Commercial meeting spaces fed from a growing centralized equipment room

Frequently Asked Questions

What is required before applying this upgrade?
An ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001) currently licensed for 96 endpoints. The upgrade key raises that server to unlimited capacity.

Does this cover a backup AIM server?
No. This SKU upgrades the primary AIM server only. For a primary plus backup/failover pair, use the matching "-BCK" upgrade license.

Is any hardware shipped with this product?
No. The license is delivered electronically and applied as a key through the AIM server's management interface.

Why choose unlimited instead of stepping to 192 or 288?
A direct jump avoids repeated upgrade purchases and removes endpoint capacity as a design constraint for future phases of the deployment.

Will existing endpoint configurations be preserved?
Yes. The upgrade changes the licensed capacity of the AIM server; existing channels, users, and endpoint configurations remain in place.
