Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-192-288 – AIM License Upgrade, 192 to 288 Endpoints

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-192-288 is an ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) license upgrade that expands an existing primary-and-backup AIM server pair from 192 managed endpoints to 288 endpoints. For organizations scaling an IP KVM matrix built on ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) extenders, this AIM software license upgrade adds capacity without replacing any hardware. It is the direct growth path for control rooms and broadcast operations that are approaching the 192-endpoint ceiling on a redundant AIM deployment and need additional KVM over IP endpoint licensing.

Product Description

The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM, SKU ASP-001) is the management server that turns individual ALIF transmitter and receiver endpoints into a coordinated IP KVM matrix running over standard IP networks. With AIM in place, any user station can be routed to any connected computer, multiple users can co-operatively share a machine, and video can be multicast to many destinations at once. The base AIM server (ASP-001) is licensed for 24 endpoints out of the box; AIMLIC licenses expand that capacity through tiers of 48, 96, 192, 288, and unlimited endpoints.

This specific part, AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-192-288, is the upgrade (UPG) edition that moves a deployment from the 192-endpoint tier to the 288-endpoint tier. The BCK designation means the license covers both the primary AIM unit and its backup/failover unit, so redundant deployments stay fully licensed on both servers after the upgrade. Because you are upgrading between tiers rather than purchasing a new full license, existing configuration, channels, and user permissions on the AIM server are retained.

Delivery is by electronic license key. There is no additional hardware to install, ship, or rack: the key is applied to the AIM server and the expanded endpoint count becomes available. This makes capacity planning straightforward for integrators specifying multi-phase IP KVM matrix projects.

Key Features

• 192-to-288 Endpoint Upgrade — Raises the licensed capacity of an existing AIM deployment from 192 to 288 ADDERLink INFINITY endpoints in a single step.
• Primary Plus Backup Coverage — The BCK license covers both the primary AIM server and its backup/failover unit, keeping redundant systems fully licensed.
• Any-to-Any Matrix Routing — AIM-managed endpoints support any-station-to-any-computer routing across standard IP networks.
• Co-operative Sharing and Multicasting — Multiple operators can share a source co-operatively, and video can be multicast to many destinations.
• Electronic License Key — Delivered as a digital key with no extra hardware required, so capacity can be expanded without downtime planning around new equipment.
• Tiered Growth Path — Part of the AIMLIC family spanning 48, 96, 192, 288, and unlimited endpoint tiers, preserving your investment as the system grows.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio production and playout environments expanding their IP KVM matrix
• Government space operations centers requiring licensed redundancy on primary and backup AIM servers
• Commercial meeting space and campus deployments where ALIF endpoint counts grow past 192
• Training room and simulation facilities standardized on ADDERLink INFINITY

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this license require new hardware?
No. AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-192-288 is delivered as an electronic license key applied to your existing AIM server. No additional hardware is shipped or installed.

Do I need to already own a 192-endpoint license?
Yes. This is a tier upgrade (UPG) from the 192-endpoint level to the 288-endpoint level. If you are starting from a different tier, a different AIMLIC upgrade part applies.

Does it cover my backup AIM server?
Yes. The BCK designation covers both the primary AIM unit and the backup/failover unit, so redundant operation remains fully licensed.

Which endpoints can AIM manage?
AIM manages ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) series transmitters and receivers, turning point-to-point extenders into a scalable IP KVM matrix with any-to-any routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting.

Can I expand beyond 288 endpoints later?
Yes. The AIMLIC family includes further upgrade tiers up to unlimited endpoints, so the system can continue to scale.
