How to Upgrade to the Yealink Teams Edition from SFB Edition

As Skype for Business rolls into Microsoft Teams, more features and tools are unlocked for Teams users. We received many inquiries from our customers regarding how to utilize Yealink’s Teams edition devices. Therefore, today, we are going to show you how to upgrade your existing Yealink SFB phones into the Teams edition.

The whole upgrading process can be separated into two main steps: Upload the Teams firmware and Register & Upload the license. Let’s get started:

Upload your Microsoft Teams Firmware

  1. Download the Microsoft Teams firmware file:
  2.  On the device, go to Status -> General to find out the IP address of the device.

    • Username: admin
    • Password: admin
  4. Go to Settings -> Upgrade -> Select and Upgrade Firmware,.
  5. Click “Upload” to upload the MS Teams firmware, a message will pop-up, click OK.

Register for an account and Upload the License

  1. Login to Yealink License Management Platform.
  2. Go to License Management -> My application, click “+New Temporary License” or “New Permanent License” based on your needs.
