About replacing hardware devices

If you remove a hardware device from a recording server and save the configuration, you also free a hardware device license. Simply disabling a device does not free a license. You can replace a licensed hardware device with a new hardware device and activate and license it instead. The total number of purchased hardware device licenses corresponds to the total number of hardware devices that can run on the surveillance system simultaneously.

When you replace a hardware device, you must use the Replace Hardware Device wizard to map all relevant databases of cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, and more. Remember to activate the license when you are finished.
