2-5-2 Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period
When you are in Modify mode, the time remaining before the mode is reset to View mode is displayed both as a
progress bar and numerically (see Figure 2-15). The default for the Modify mode timeout period is 30 minutes.
Once that time period expires, Modify mode is released.
By clicking Reset (this button is on the right side of the progress bar; see Figure 2-15), you can add additional
time. For example, if the Modify mode timeout period is set at the default, which is 30 minutes, clicking the Reset
button will extend the time remaining by 30 minutes.
To change or disable the Modify mode timeout period, see section 3-4 . If you disable the timeout period, the
progress bar will not be displayed.
2-6 License Keys
A license key is a text string that functions as a password. When you enter the license key for an option into XP
Remote Web Console, that option is unlocked. Because each license key is generated with a subsystem serial
number and option ID input, each subsystem requires a unique license key code. License key codes for each
option (including the Java™ applet) and subsystem are provided at the time of purchase (see Figure 2-16).

Figure 2-16 Overview of License Keys and Option Installation
There are three types of license keys:
• A permanent License Key is issued when the software license is purchased. It is used to enable the product
indefinitely.
• An emergency License Key is used in situations where the temporary key is set to expire in the near future,
and the user cannot get the permanent key in time because of special circumstances (for example, a
licensed server has crashed or there are problems with the communication infrastructure). An emergency
key may also be used when a user who does not intend to purchase the option needs to undo a
configuration change that was made during the lifetime of the temporary license key. An emergency key is
effective for 30 days.
NOTE: If you forcibly install an emergency key to an option that already has the permanent key, the
license of that option expires in 30 days.
