Activation
License activation is the process of unlocking the channels on NVR product with the received
License Key
.
License Key
is a serial number delivered as a printed card or an E-mail after
the purchase is carried out.
During license activation, your
License Key
is matched against the MAC address of the
Network Interface Card (NIC) on NVR server computer. Once this license key is used by the
computer with given MAC, it cannot be activated with another MAC. This matching record will
be stored on the ACTi license data server. If your computer has more than one network cards,
NVR server will detect them and provide you a dropdown list to select from.
There are two ways to activate the licenses depending on your NVR server network condition:
Online Activation
and
Offline Activation
.
Online Activation
If your NVR server computer has Internet access, choose online activation.
Offline Activation
Offline activation does not require Internet access for NVR server. It is used when NVR is
located in network not connected to public Internet (e.g. in a military base). You will need to get
an activation file from another computer and transfer it to NVR server computer.

Quad
mode) display multiple regions in a
view, they are still counted as one single channel in terms of licensing.
