This topic is only relevant if your surveillance system is offline or if you want to make a manual license activation. If your system is online, your licenses are activated automatically. For more information see About automatic license activation.
When you have installed your VMS and added hardware devices, the hardware devices run in a 30-day grace period. Before the end of the 30-day grace period, you must activate your hardware device licenses or your hardware devices stop sending video to your surveillance system.
Milestone recommends that you activate your licenses before you make final adjustments to your system and its hardware devices. For more information, see Activate licenses offline and Activate licenses online.
If you add more hardware devices than the number of purchased hardware device licenses, the hardware devices run with in a grace period. If you want to see video from these hardware devices after the expiry of the grace period, you must buy additional licenses. You can also disable less important cameras to allow new hardware devices to run instead.
If you have several VMS products installed in a master/slave setup, you activate your licenses from each installation and get an updated and activated .lic file for each installation. This is also the case if all your VMS products share the same software license file.
