Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-48-UNL – AIM Upgrade License, 48 to Unlimited Endpoints

Product Overview

The Adder AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-48-UNL is an AIM license upgrade that moves an existing 48-endpoint ADDERLink INFINITY Manager deployment to unlimited endpoint capacity, with coverage for both the primary and backup AIM servers. It is the cost-effective path for organizations that licensed their IP KVM matrix at the 48-endpoint tier and have since outgrown it, avoiding the expense of purchasing a full unlimited license from scratch. Because this upgrade is delivered as an electronic license key applied to the AIM server, integrators can expand a live KVM-over-IP installation without adding hardware or disrupting operators. For redundant control room environments running primary and failover AIM units, this single SKU keeps both appliances licensed in step.

Product Description

The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) turns ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers into a high-performance IP KVM matrix over standard gigabit IP networks, providing any-to-any routing between user stations and computers, co-operative machine sharing, and video multicasting without compromising video quality or control. AIM licensing is tiered by endpoint count — 24 endpoints on the base ASP-001 appliance, expandable to 48, 96, 192, 288, or unlimited — and UPG SKUs exist specifically to move an existing license between tiers.

This particular upgrade applies to deployments currently licensed at 48 endpoints with backup coverage and lifts them straight to the unlimited tier. The -BCK designation means both the primary AIM server and the backup/failover unit are covered, preserving the redundant architecture that 24/7 facilities depend on. In a typical rack-mount installation, the primary and backup AIM appliances occupy a single 1U space, each with dual network interfaces (2× SFP plus 1× RJ45 at 1GbE) that can be independently routed or teamed. Once the upgrade key is applied, the matrix can grow without further licensing events — new ALIF transmitters and receivers simply join the system as projects expand. This makes the upgrade especially relevant for facilities in active build-out: broadcast plants adding production machines, government operations centers consolidating systems, or enterprise campuses standardizing on KVM-over-IP. Procurement teams should confirm the existing deployment holds a 48-endpoint backup-class license before ordering; other upgrade tiers are available in our Adder Technology collection, and the base ADDERLink INFINITY Manager ASP-001 is available for new installations.

Key Features

• 48-to-Unlimited Tier Upgrade — Moves an existing 48-endpoint AIM license directly to unlimited endpoint capacity in a single step.
• Primary + Backup Coverage — Licenses both the primary AIM server and the backup/failover unit, maintaining redundancy through the upgrade.
• Protects Prior Investment — Upgrade pricing builds on the license already purchased rather than requiring a new full unlimited license.
• No Hardware Required — Delivered as an electronic license key applied to the AIM server, so the upgrade is a software operation.
• Unrestricted Matrix Growth — After the upgrade, ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers can be added without further endpoint licensing.
• Full AIM Feature Set — Retains any-to-any routing, co-operative computer sharing, and video multicasting across the expanded matrix.
• Standard IP Network Operation — The expanded matrix continues to run over existing 1GbE network infrastructure.
• Compact Redundant Footprint — Primary and backup AIM appliances fit together in a single 1U rack space.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studios scaling production and playout machine counts beyond 48 endpoints
• Government spaces expanding redundant KVM management across operations centers
• Commercial meeting spaces and corporate facilities standardizing on KVM-over-IP campus-wide
• Training rooms growing the pool of shared computers available to user stations
• Multi-purpose rooms and auditoriums integrated into an expanding facility AV backbone

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the AIMLIC-UPG-BCK-48-UNL upgrade require?

An existing ADDERLink INFINITY Manager deployment currently licensed at the 48-endpoint tier with backup (-BCK) coverage. The upgrade lifts that license to unlimited endpoints on both the primary and backup AIM servers.

How is the upgrade installed?

It is delivered electronically as a digital license key applied to the AIM server. No additional hardware is required, and the upgrade does not involve replacing the AIM appliances.

Does the upgrade keep my failover protection?

Yes. The -BCK coverage carries through the upgrade, so both the primary AIM server and the backup/failover unit operate at the unlimited tier for continued 24/7 redundancy.

What can the matrix do after upgrading?

The full AIM feature set applies at unlimited scale: any user station can be routed to any connected computer, operators can co-operatively share machines, and video can be multicast to multiple receivers without compromising quality or control.

I am at a different tier — is this the right SKU?

UPG SKUs are tier-specific. This one upgrades from 48 endpoints to unlimited. If your deployment is licensed at 96, 192, or 288 endpoints, contact us or browse the Adder Technology collection for the matching upgrade path.

Can Creation Networks verify my current license before I order?

Yes. Send your current AIM license details to info@creationnetworks.net and our team will confirm the correct upgrade SKU for your installation before purchase.
