Licensing
To use any Quality Management service you need a license (or license key) for it. The license not only unlocks the software, but contains the User licenses for use by those members of staff who need to:
- Administer the Quality Management Client.
- Have their calls processed by the Quality Management Client.
- Use the Quality Management Client for viewing and reporting the corresponding call data.
When you purchase an Enghouse Interactive license, you specify the number of each type if User license you require.
Quality Management includes the following licenses:
-
Call Recording - select this check box to assign an Unlimited Call Recording license to this User. Users with this type of call recording license are automatically assigned to the default Call Recording Profile so that their calls are automatically recorded (you can reassign them to another call recording profile as required). Users with this sort of license can also have their calls recorded in real-time (as they happen). If you remove a license of this type, the user's call recording profile assignment is also removed.
-
Concurrent Call Recording – allows the same functionality as a Call Recording license above, with the difference being that this is a per-seat license, rather than a per-user license.
-
On-Demand Call Recording - select this check box to assign an on-demand call recording license to this user. Users with this type of call recording license can only have their calls recorded in real-time (as they happen). They cannot be assigned to a call recording profile, and they cannot have their calls recorded automatically. If you switch a user from an Unlimited Call Recording license, their call recording profile assignment is removed.
-
Screen Recording - select this check box to assign a Screen Recording license to this user.
-
Concurrent Screen Recording – allows the same functionality as a Screen Recording license above, with the difference being that this is a per-seat license, rather than a per-user license.
-
Voice Analytics Realtime - select this box to assign a live streaming Analytics Application license to this user. This license also functions as a “base” license where the user can have the license without requiring any other licenses. Users with this type of license should then be assigned to a Live Analytics Call Recording Profile.
-
Voice Analytics Batch - per-user license granting a user access to a Batch Analytics Speech Processing Application. This license has a pre-requisite of a Call Recording license: Either Call Recording, Concurrent Call Recording, On-Demand Call Recording, or Voice Analytics Realtime.
-
Transcription per-user license granting a user access to transcription services.
-
Desktop Utility – select this check box to assign a Desktop Utility license to this user. A Desktop Utility license will allow the user to use the QMS Desktop Utility to control starting, stopping, and pausing call recordings without having to log into the Quality Management Client. The desktop utility also allows the user to add flags to the call in progress.
-
Agent Evaluation - select this check box to assign an agent evaluation license to this user.
-
Supervisor – select this check box to assign a Supervisor license to this user. A supervisor license will allow the user to log into the Quality Management Client, with access to whatever functionality is allowed through the Security Profile to which the user is assigned. A user with a supervisor license will not be able to have his/her calls recorded.
-
Video Recording – select this check box to assign a Video Recording license to this user.
The Quality Management functions controlled by each license are unavailable (not displayed in the Quality Management Client UI) until the license is installed.
A Quality Management license works only on the server for which it is issued. Either Enghouse Interactive or your reseller will generate a license key for you based on the Server Token that you email them.
|
If QMS is to be configured in a High Availability environment, there will be two Server Tokens that will need to be sent to Enghouse Interactive or your reseller. Be sure to indicate which Token is Secondary. |
If you wish to try components of the Quality Management Suite before purchasing, then you can be issued an Evaluation License, which lets you use the package free of charge until a specified date.
Most Users opt for a perpetual license, which never expires. If you prefer, you can also purchase subscription Licenses, which offer the functionality of perpetual licenses and include access to technical support and updates, but which are time-limited and need to be renewed.

License Expiration Alerts
When using a temporary license for an On-premise or tenant version of QMS, License Expiration Alert can be used to send a notification when the license expiration nears. By default, the alert is disabled. To enable, first make sure email is configured and tested. See Email Settings for more information about configuring email. Once email is configured and working, set the number of days to alert before the expiration date.
