Yes it’s supported.

[jaheshkhan]

A-Flex license they have. will it include expressway license by default? when i checked their portal i couldnt find any thing? do they need to purchase it separately?

[Roger Kallberg]

There is no license needed for MRA on Expressways anymore.

[jaheshkhan]

What about optional key for expressway? do they need to order it separately in flex license?

[Nithin Eluvathingal]

For Mra no license required.. no option keys required with new versions.

only licensee for expressway is RMS, device registration license if you are using expressway for those purpose.

[jaheshkhan]

ok . then i found RMS license details in their license portal

[jaheshkhan]

so now how expressway C and expressway E is converted? without optionkey??? before we need to enter the key? now its not required that way for 14.x?

[Roger Kallberg]

For MRA and also for B2B you do not need to enter any keys. It’s natively embedded in the system. If you are using the Expressways for other type of services, like device registration you’ll need to have option key(s) for that. Please note that this is not the same as if you register devices through MRA, for that you don’t need any license key. This actually changed already in version X12 something, I don’t recall the exact dot version, but if you’re interested in knowing it can be found in the release notes for X12.x.

[Nithin Eluvathingal]

No option key . Run the setup wizard and select the mode, E or C. Mention what feature you use that’s it.
