It's hard to understand why Mitel has EOL the 250.I think it's because the hardware is so archaic, and they would have to basically re-engineer the platform... This is the same reason we have to have an external server to use the 6900 series phones were the 3300 can handle it all natively.
I think this post should be a sticky!
That's great to hear, thanks!
Does anyone know if you can still purchase licenses for these? We would like to add some licenses to a 2nd hand system we purchased.

I have been in Telecom for 30 years, so I get that... But the license thing doesn't have to be an issue, estimate your needs for X years and buy them and have your vendor hold them in their license bank then allocate as needed. They should be able to sit in your license bank almost forever, I have licenses that are over 10 years old in ours that have been discontinued years ago.That's great to hear, thanks!

Ace,
Company I worked for used a Vantage system way past its time, retired in 2012. I found a source of parts, and we kept it going, sometimes wishing I hadn't found a source.
I don't understand how companies are going to be able to keep using the 250, when licenses aren't available. What happens when you add a new employee and they need a phone? We may have a few extra phone licenses and we could purchase additional licenses for the future, but how many and on which nodes?

Just upload the licenses when purchased.I think the point was if you have multiple systems and don't know where to allocate them... yet.

Have these End of Sale (EOS) and End of Life (EOL) been extended another year?
Looking to add SIP licenses and possibly PS1.
Where do I go for official Mitel announcements?
Thanks to all who support this forum!
