About activating licenses
When you purchase your system, you receive a temporary license file (.lic) including a Software
License Code (SLC). You must use this temporary license file when you install your system. In order
to get your permanent license, register your SLC before you activate licenses. When you have
registered your SLC, you can activate your licenses in two ways: online or offline.
You cannot activate more licenses than you have bought. If you have added more cameras than you
have licenses for, you must buy additional licenses before you can activate them.

To get an overview of your licenses, go to Advanced Configuration > Hardware Devices
and view your Hardware Device Summary table.
The following example assumes that you have installed your system with a temporary license (.lic) file.
About activating licenses after grace period
If you exceed the grace period before you activate a license, the license is not lost. You can activate
the license as usual. Configuration, added cameras, and other settings are not removed from the
Management Application if a license is activated too late.
If you have exceeded the grace period before activation, all cameras that are not activated within the
given period are not available and cannot send data to the surveillance system.
