Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-48-192 – AIM License Upgrade 48 to 192 Endpoints

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-48-192 is an ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) license upgrade that expands a redundant AIM deployment from 48 managed endpoints to 192 managed endpoints, covering both the primary AIM server and its backup/failover unit. It is the direct upgrade path for organizations whose IP KVM matrix has outgrown a 48-endpoint AIM license and now needs capacity for up to 192 ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers. As an electronic license key for the AIM server (ASP-001), this AIM license upgrade for primary and backup servers requires no additional hardware and keeps failover protection intact as the KVM matrix scales.

Product Description

The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager turns individual ALIF extender endpoints into a true IP KVM matrix over standard IP networks, providing any-station-to-any-computer routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting. The AIM server (ASP-001) ships licensed for 24 endpoints; AIMLIC licenses raise that ceiling as installations grow. The AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-48-192 applies specifically to redundant deployments: it upgrades a matched pair — one primary AIM and one backup AIM — from a 48-endpoint tier to a 192-endpoint tier in a single transaction, so the failover server always mirrors the capacity of the production server.

This matters in mission-critical control rooms, broadcast facilities, and government installations where the matrix manager cannot be a single point of failure. With both servers licensed identically, a failover event preserves full routing capability for every connected ALIF transmitter and receiver. Because the license is delivered as an electronic key, the upgrade is applied to the existing AIM servers without downtime-heavy hardware swaps, rack changes, or recabling.

The 48-to-192 jump is a four-fold capacity expansion, appropriate for facilities consolidating multiple equipment rooms onto one matrix, adding operator positions, or rolling the matrix out across additional departments. If your deployment does not yet include an AIM server, see the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001), and browse compatible ALIF endpoints such as the ALIF2020 transmitter and ALIF2020 receiver in the Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• 48 to 192 Endpoint Upgrade — Quadruples managed endpoint capacity on an existing AIM deployment, supporting up to 192 ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers.
• Primary Plus Backup Coverage — The BCK designation licenses both the production AIM server and its failover unit, keeping redundancy intact after the upgrade.
• Full Matrix Functionality Preserved — Any-station-to-any-computer routing, co-operative sharing, and video multicasting continue across the expanded endpoint count.
• Electronic License Key — Delivered as a software key applied to the AIM servers; no extra hardware, rack space, or recabling is required.
• Cost-Effective Tier Migration — The UPG path upgrades existing licenses rather than repurchasing full-capacity licenses outright.
• Standard IP Network Operation — AIM manages the matrix over conventional gigabit IP infrastructure, with no proprietary switching fabric.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio matrix expansions across production and master control
• Government space command and control facilities requiring redundant matrix management
• Training room and simulation environments scaling operator positions
• Commercial meeting space campuses consolidating distributed computers onto one matrix

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need before applying this upgrade?
You need an existing AIM deployment (ASP-001 servers) currently licensed at the 48-endpoint tier with backup coverage. This license moves that paired deployment to the 192-endpoint tier.

Does this license cover both of my AIM servers?
Yes. The BCK suffix means the upgrade applies to the primary AIM server and the backup/failover unit, so both remain licensed at the same 192-endpoint capacity.

Is any hardware shipped with this product?
No. The license is delivered electronically as a key applied to your AIM servers — there is no appliance, dongle, or cabling involved.

What counts as an endpoint?
Each ADDERLink INFINITY transmitter or receiver registered with AIM counts as one endpoint toward the 192-endpoint limit.

Will my matrix configuration be preserved during the upgrade?
The upgrade raises the license ceiling on existing servers; channel, user, and routing configurations remain in place. Creation Networks can advise on the activation procedure if needed.

Can I upgrade beyond 192 endpoints later?
Yes. Adder offers further AIMLIC upgrade tiers, including unlimited-endpoint options. Contact Creation Networks for the correct upgrade SKU for your current tier.
