Activate License - Online
If your system is connected to the Internet, your system automatically activates licenses whenever you
add devices to or remove them from your system. You do not need to specify any user name or
password.
The system checks every fifteen minutes if the license file corresponds to the number of installed
cameras. If you have added cameras in that time frame, the system automatically adds the license for
these cameras as well.
Activate License - Offline
