Licensing the NVR

Overview

During the installation and configuration process of the NVR you will be prompted to licence your

NVR. At this stage you can generate a Host ID and apply the licence, alternatively you can

continue through the Setup Wizard and use the temporary NVR license.

Note

1 The NVR software has a 60-day trial period with a maximum of 128 camera license (16

analytic cameras).

2 If you do not purchase a license by the end of the trial period, the camera and storage

functions are automatically disabled.

To apply a licence, use the Licencing page in the NVR Administration interface (Figure 15-1). From

here you can Generate a Host

ID, Apply a Licence, edit the Software Service Agreement (SSA)

message, add/edit SSA Contacts and add/edit the SMTP Server.

The Licensing Status section provides a summary of the

license type, the number of cameras that

are licensed on the NVR, the number of cameras with analytics that are licensed on the NVR and

the time remaining on the current license.

A licence is generated based on the number of devices att

ached to the NVR. This can be either a

camera or a camera encoder with multiple analog cameras attached. A license generated for one

NVR cannot be used with another NVR, however, you can replace cameras and devices on the

NVR without requiring a license change.

To licence the NVR you must generate a Host ID specific to your

NVR and enter the ID on the

online registration page. This can be accessed using the VideoEdge Licensing Activation Icon on

the NVR Desktop or via the American Dynamics website. Once you receive the licence file you

can then apply the permanent licence to your NVR.

The NVR has optional licensable features consisting of:

• Additional cameras (beyond IP camera licenses included with base software)

• Analytics channels
