Change Software License Code
If you run your installation on a trial Software License Code (SLC) during the first period, you can
change it into a permanent SLC without any un- or reinstallation actions.
Important: This must be done locally on the management server. You cannot do this from the
Management Client.
1. On the management server, go to the notification area of the taskbar.
2. Right-click the Management Server icon and select Change License.
3. Click Import License.
4. Next, select the SLC license file saved for this purpose. When done, the selected license file
location is added just below the Import License button.
5. Click OK and you are now ready to register SLC. See Register Software License Code (on
page 29).
Install clients
Install XProtect Smart Client silently
You can deploy XProtect Smart Client or your surveillance software to users’ computers using tools
such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). Such tools let you build up databases of
hardware and software on local networks. The databases can then, among other things, be used for
distributing and installing software applications, such as XProtect Smart Client, over local networks.
1. Locate the Smart Client installation program (.exe) file - MilestoneXProtectSmart Client.exe
or MilestoneXProtectSmart Client_x64.exe for 32-bit and 64-bit versions respectively. You
find the file in a subfolder under the folder httpdocs. The httpdocs folder is located under the
folder in which your Milestone surveillance software is installed.
