Create a Single Key File to Update Multiple Systems

After you receive your key files from Polycom, you can create a single key file to upgrade multiple
RealPresence Group Series systems.
Procedure
1. Open the key files with a text editor, such as Notepad.
2. Copy the contents of one file to the end of the other file.
Repeat, as necessary.
3. Save the combined file with the name sw_keys.txt.
You now have a single text file that contains all of your keys for software updates. Use the keys in the file
to upgrade the applicable systems.

Key File Formats

Most key files use this format:
License Number <TAB>Serial Number<TAB>Key
For example, a text file with update license numbers, serial numbers, and
keys might look like this:
U1059-3131-6042-3609<TAB>8213190FFAE7D5<TAB>UBA5-1D6E-EB00-0000-0192
The following example shows a software update key file:
U1000-0000-0000-0000-0003<TAB>82041003E070B0<TAB>U8FB-0D4E-6E30-0000-0009
U1000-0000-0000-0000-0004<TAB>820327024193AK<TAB>U982-4507-5D80-0000-0009
The following example shows an option key file:
K1000-0000-0000-0000-0001<TAB>82041003F082B1<TAB>K15B-DC2D-E120-0000-0009
K1000-0000-0000-0000-0002<TAB>82041503E093B0<TAB>K27E-30F9-2D20-0000-0009
RealPresence Group Series systems covered by a software service agreement use a slightly different key
file format. The following is an example of a software update key file for such a system:
U<TAB>82041003F082B1<TAB>U7B6-698E-1640-0000-02C1
U<TAB>82041503E093B0<TAB>UCC1-C9A6-FE60-0000-02C1
U<TAB>82041003E070B0<TAB>UEC6-FDA0-8F00-0000-02C1
U<TAB>820327024193AK<TAB>U7B7-D6BD-3610-0000-02C1
