Once the 30-day trial period have passed, you must purchase the software and activate the license for the

trial version are not deleted.

Purchase
When you have installed the various XProtect VMS components, the surveillance system initially runs in "trial
mode" for 30 days. You must purchase and activate your license before the end of the trial period in order to
ensure that you have a continuously working system.

When you purchase an XProtect VMS, you receive a license file (.lic) which includes a Software License Code
(SLC). You must use this license file when you install your system.
Before you activate your licenses, you must add the Software License Code (SLC) to your Software
Registration Account within My Milestone. (If you do not already have a My Milestone account, you must
create one).

When you have logged into My Milestone, go to Software Registration section of the website, select Add
SLC
, type in the SLC > Save.
