Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-288-UNL – AIM License Upgrade, 288 to Unlimited, Primary + Backup

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-288-UNL is an ADDERLink INFINITY Manager license upgrade that expands a redundant AIM deployment from 288 endpoints to unlimited endpoints across both the primary and backup management servers. This AIM license upgrade is intended for organizations running an ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) IP KVM matrix at scale that need to remove endpoint capacity limits without replacing hardware. Because it is an electronic license key, the unlimited endpoint upgrade for primary and failover AIM servers deploys without new appliances, cabling, or downtime. It is the final capacity tier in the AIMLIC upgrade path for high-availability KVM-over-IP installations.

Product Description

ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM, SKU ASP-001) is the management server that turns ADDERLink INFINITY endpoints into an IP KVM matrix over standard IP networks, providing any-station-to-any-computer routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting. Each AIM server is licensed for a fixed number of managed endpoints, and AIMLIC licenses expand that capacity through 48, 96, 192, and 288 endpoint tiers up to unlimited.

This specific SKU is the "-BCK" variant, meaning the upgrade covers both the primary AIM unit and its backup/failover unit so that license capacity remains matched across the redundant pair. Deployments that maintain a hot-standby AIM server should always license both units identically; a failover server with a lower endpoint tier cannot manage the full matrix if the primary goes offline. The "UPG" designation indicates this is a tier-to-tier upgrade — it applies only to systems already licensed at the 288-endpoint level and moves them to unlimited endpoints.

Once applied, the AIM pair can manage an unrestricted count of ALIF transmitters and receivers, supporting continued growth of broadcast facilities, control rooms, and campus-wide KVM-over-IP installations. Integrators planning a new system can pair this license with the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001-US) server, and the full Adder range is available in our Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• Unlimited Endpoint Capacity — Removes the 288-endpoint ceiling so the AIM-managed ALIF matrix can grow without further license purchases.
• Primary + Backup Coverage — A single upgrade SKU licenses both the primary AIM server and its failover unit, keeping the redundant pair in step.
• Electronic License Delivery — Supplied as a license key with no additional hardware, so capacity expands without rack changes or downtime.
• Protects Existing Investment — Upgrades the AIM servers and ALIF endpoints already in service rather than requiring replacement equipment.
• Full Matrix Functionality Retained — Any-station-to-any-computer routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting continue to operate across the expanded endpoint count.
• Standard IP Network Operation — The AIM-managed matrix runs over standard IP networks, so scaling endpoints does not require proprietary switching infrastructure.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio master control and production galleries with large ALIF deployments
• Government spaces operating redundant, high-availability KVM-over-IP matrices
• Training rooms and technical operations centers that share large pools of computers among operator stations

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need this license if I only run a single AIM server?
No. This SKU covers a primary and backup pair. Systems without a failover AIM unit should use the primary-only upgrade, AIMLIC-UPG-288-UNL.

What must already be in place before applying this upgrade?
Your AIM servers (ASP-001) must already be licensed at the 288-endpoint tier on both the primary and backup units. The UPG license moves that existing tier to unlimited.

Does the upgrade require new hardware or downtime?
No. The license is delivered electronically and applied to the existing AIM servers; no extra hardware is required.

Which endpoints does the expanded license manage?
ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) series transmitters and receivers managed by the AIM server over standard IP networks.

Can Creation Networks help size an AIM license for my deployment?
Yes. Contact our commercial AV team with your endpoint count and redundancy plan and we will confirm the correct AIMLIC tier and upgrade path before you order.
