Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-192-UNL – 192 to Unlimited Upgrade, Primary + Backup

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-192-UNL is an AIM license upgrade that moves an existing 192-endpoint license to unlimited endpoints on both a primary and a backup ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) server. It is intended for organizations running a redundant AIM pair that have reached the 192-endpoint ceiling of their KVM-over-IP matrix and need unrestricted growth. Because the upgrade is delivered electronically as a license key, capacity is removed as a constraint without any hardware changes. It keeps failover protection intact while opening the IP KVM matrix to any number of ADDERLink INFINITY endpoints.

Product Description

In a resilient ADDERLink INFINITY deployment, two AIM servers are operated as a primary and backup/failover pair, each fitting in 1U of rack space with dual network interfaces (2× SFP + 1× RJ45, 1GbE) that can be routed independently or teamed. The "-BCK" license SKUs cover both units, so the backup server carries the same endpoint entitlement as the primary and can take over management without capacity mismatch.

This upgrade SKU applies specifically to sites already licensed for 192 endpoints across a primary and backup pair. Applying the AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-192-UNL key lifts both servers to unlimited endpoint capacity, the highest tier available for the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager ASP-001 platform. From that point, the deployment can add ALIF transmitters and receivers freely as control rooms, studios, or campuses expand.

AIM management provides matrix routing of any user station to any connected computer, co-operative sharing of machines between operators, and video multicasting to multiple destinations without compromising video quality or control. For large mission-critical environments, pairing unlimited capacity with a licensed backup server protects both scale and uptime. New deployments starting at the top tier may instead consider the AIMLIC-UNL license; related hardware is available in the Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• 192 to Unlimited Upgrade — Lifts an existing 192-endpoint license to unlimited ADDERLink INFINITY endpoints.
• Primary + Backup Coverage — Licenses both the primary AIM server and the backup/failover unit, keeping redundancy intact at the new tier.
• No Hardware Required — Delivered electronically as a license key applied to the AIM servers.
• Full Matrix Routing — Any user station can be routed to any connected computer over standard IP networks.
• Co-operative Sharing and Multicasting — Supports shared computer access between users and video multicast to multiple destinations without quality loss.
• Compact Redundant Pair — Each AIM unit occupies 1U with dual network interfaces (2× SFP + 1× RJ45, 1GbE), independently routed or teamed.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio complexes scaling beyond 192 managed endpoints with failover protection
• Government spaces requiring redundant management of large IP KVM estates
• Training rooms and operator facilities on growing campuses with no fixed endpoint ceiling
• Commercial meeting spaces served by large centralized equipment rooms

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need before purchasing this upgrade?
An existing 192-endpoint license covering a primary and backup AIM server pair. This SKU upgrades that entitlement to unlimited endpoints on both units.

Does the upgrade cover my backup AIM server?
Yes. "-BCK" SKUs license both the primary AIM server and the backup/failover unit, so failover capacity always matches the primary.

Is any hardware shipped?
No. The upgrade is delivered electronically as a license key applied to your AIM servers; no additional hardware is required.

What does unlimited capacity mean in practice?
After the upgrade, the AIM pair can manage any number of ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers, with matrix routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting across all of them.

I only run a primary AIM server — is this the right SKU?
No. For a primary-only deployment, use the AIMLIC-UPG-192-UNL upgrade instead. Contact Creation Networks if you are unsure which license matches your installation.

Does upgrading interrupt the running matrix?
License keys are applied through the AIM management interface. Plan the change within a maintenance window per Adder's guidance; Creation Networks can advise on the process.
