Automatic license activation (explained)

For easy maintenance and flexibility, Milestone recommends that you enable automatic license activation because it means less maintenance for you. Automatic activation of licenses requires that your management server is online.

When the requirements above are met, the system activates your hardware devices or other licenses a few minutes after you have added, removed or replaced hardware devices or made other changes, which affect the use of your licenses. Therefore, you never have to manually start a license activation. The number of used device changes without activation is always zero. No hardware devices are within a grace period and at risk of expiring. If one of your base licenses expire within a period of 14 days, your XProtect system will also - as an extra precaution - automatically try to activate your licenses every night.

The only time you have to manually activate your licenses, is when you have purchased additional licenses, want to upgrade, if you have bought or renewed a Milestone Care subscription, or if Milestone has granted you a higher number of device changes without activation.
