Activating a License
It may become necessary to install a new license once a system has been deployed in the
field. Typically this is a result of the purchase of an upgrade which includes installing new
features or changes to existing licensing (e.g. increasing full disclosure from 1 day to 4
days).
On a stand-alone Central Station, the license server is local to that system only, and
updates are applied locally.
In the client server model, the Connex server acts as the license server for all systems on
the network. Client Central Stations do require a license to communicate with the license
server. Depending upon features being updated, license activation may be required on
both the Connex server and a client Central Station(s).
Depending on the type of licensing changes, it may be necessary to update all computers.
