Do You Need Nortel BCM 50/450 License Key Codes?

We can assist you to expand your BCM phone system with new features and seat licenses

Now that we are somewhat post pandemic, many businesses are once again growing. If your business has a Nortel BCM 50 or BCM 450 phone system, the challenge is to locate BCM Key Codes or seat licenses now that support for the BCM product line no longer exists. To add Seats and system features to your Nortel or Avaya BCM50 you need to source viable feature key codes.

Nortel BCM 50, also known as Avaya BCM50 which was sold for small business applications

How to Grow Your Nortel/Avaya BCM 50:

BCM 50 Key Code Licenses include: Digital Station Port Key Codes; Analog Station Port Key Codes; IP Telephony Client Key Codes; Analog Trunk Port Key Codes; Expansion Port Key Codes; Voice Messaging Key Codes; Unified Messaging Key Codes; VoIP Gateway Trunk Key Codes; Networking Key Codes; Fax Software Key Codes; Call Center Key Codes; LAN CTE Key Codes; BCM50 Intelligent Contact Centre; Remote Worker; and Network Configuration Manager Key Codes.

These Nortel BCM50 Key Codes serve a variety of Expansion requirements and can also be activated on an Avaya BCM 50 to grow your BCM as your business needs them.

The Nortel BCM 450 was manufactured for larger organizations that have hundreds of phones and users. Similar to the BCM 50, to add Seats and system features to your Nortel or Avaya BCM450 you also need to source viable feature or Seat key codes.

Nortel BCM 450, also known as Avaya BCM450 which was sold for larger enterprise business applications

How to Expand Your Nortel/Avaya BCM 450:

BCM 450 Key Code Licenses include: Activity Reporter Key Code; Advanced Paging Productivity Pack Key Code; IP Telephony Client Key Codes; Meet Me Conferencing Key Codes; Expansion Port Key Code; Voice Messaging Key Codes; Unified Messaging Key Codes; SIP Gateway Trunk Key Codes; VoIP Gateway Trunk Key Codes; Networking Key Codes; Fax Software Key Codes; LAN CTE Key Codes; Intelligent Contact Centre; and Network Configuration Manager Key Code.

Similar to the BCM 50, the Nortel BCM 450, which was also released under the Avaya BCM450 moniker, is no longer supported by the manufacturer. This makes acquiring viable Key Codes or Seat licenses challenging.

Now that the COVID pandemic is at least partially in the rear view mirror, we can assist you to expand your BCM 450, adding new features and life to your original BCM450 investment. Many BCM users now need to set up their staff members with full phone access at their home offices. Utilizing a Nortel IP phone and IP Telephony Seat license, along with a VPN tunnel and/or the Remote Worker feature, your staff can now work at home with the same phone capabilities they previously had at the office.

New Year, New Phone System Gear!

Is YOUR business phone system 5-10 years old? God forbid it is not OLDER than that as it simply qualifies for display at the Smithsonian in that case.

The biggest improvements in telecom systems in the past 5+ years are things like #BYOD, Mobile Extension, Voice Mail to Email, improvements to integrated #UC (Unified Communications), SIP trunking, etc. If your business telephone system is older than that, there is a good chance it does NOT include capabilities for these advanced but necessary features in the age of improved accessibility from clients, suppliers, and co-workers.

In the spirit of New Years Resolutions, it’s time to propose a new telephony platform for YOUR business!

Here’s some choices in a varied range of features and pricing:

Avaya IP Office – After purchasing the SMB platforms from Nortel, Avaya captured an “Upgrade with us” capability and have been porting clients over to the Avaya IP 500 phone system by allowing Nortel users to keep their existing phones. This prevented the Nortel ICS line from eventually becoming a dead end for users. Expansion is a snap as well, with IP 500 Expansion cards and modules. Users can eventually add to and/or replace phones with a wide range of choices of new Avaya IP Office phones.

NEC SV8100 phone system – This system has all of the features mentioned below. We love Voice Mail to Email and Mobile Extension to keep in touch with your clients, even when you are not in the office.

Avaya / Nortel BCM – When Avaya took over the Nortel SMB lines, one of the exciting acquisitions was the Business Communication Manager – or BCM. The BCM starts with the small business BCM 50, a compact but powerful IP capable telephone system. The other currect BCM brought over initially to Avaya was the BCM 450 for enterprise clients. Both of these platforms are easily expandable with a variety of optional hardware, referred to as BCM Media Bay Modules, and software, often called BCM Key Code Licenses.

Regardless of which phone system you choose to upgrade to, think about all the things you wish to do with your business telephones and then call Ryan Altseimer toll-free at 1.855.929.9199, extension 3007, to match your requirements and budget to an appropriate system.
