Servers/Devices
The CMS Client provides the ability to monitor unlimited cameras and input/output devices through unlimited Main Console
servers. For convenience, Main Console servers and their related devices are organized into groups. The default top-level
group is called ServerGroup. Child groups can be added to this in a hierarchical structure.
To carry out the functions described below, you need to be in Edit mode and Commit after setup (see
page 28).
The license of the software should be registered first before operating the formal version of CMS System.
Execute the License Management Tool in Help>License Manager to activate the license from a dongle or serial
number allocated with the CMS software package, or de-activate the license then use it on another PC to activate it
again. Please refer to page 59 for details on how to configure the License Management Tool.
