SLC Activation

Hi,

Can we activate same SLC in multiple systems?

Test generated SLCs vs production(actual site SLC)

Assuming all the installations belongs to the same legal entity.

For XProtect Corporate, XProtect Expert, XProtect Professional+ and XProtect Professional:

The “Management Server” component of the Product may be installed on an unrestricted number of computers designated as Management Servers and possible clustered Management Failover Server per Software License Code.

For other XProtect versions:

The “Management Server” component of the Product may be installed on

one (1) computer, or cluster of computers, designated as Management Server and possible clustered Management Failover Server per Software License Code.

For the full understanding read the end-user license agreement, you can find it in the product download page. https://www.milestonesys.com/support/resources/download-software/?prod=3&type=11&lang=27

How do you manage camera channel licensing if multiple management server with same SLC is activated, do they get (n) channels in all the management server?

The Registration Service keeps count. The camera count for each installation is added together.

@Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems)​ Can the same be applied for plugin to have channel based licensing?

Yes.

The License information you get back should include a total of used.

Hi @Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems)​

even though when we set the LicenseInformation.Counter = 0 and activate , it doesn’t take affect, it shows some other non zero

I wonder if you are aware how the VideoOS.Platform.License.LicenseInformation.CounterMethodEnum

plays a role in what is being counted..

--

enum VideoOS.Platform.License.LicenseInformation.CounterMethodEnumDefines how to display the license information for the “used” field.

Default is “Auto”.

Enumerator:

_Auto -_When ItemIdentifications are available, use that counter - otherwise use the Counter property.

_CountByItemIdentifications -_The ItemIdentifications list represent the actual used count.

CountByCounter -The Counter represent the actual used count.

--

I am speculating (guessing) if you have Auto and has something in the list -

--

Collection VideoOS.Platform.License.LicenseInformation.ItemIdentifications

[get, set]

--

then you would not have zero count.

If you do use setting so that counter = 0 should be the count used I would like to see what the Management Client - License Information page shows..

Hi @Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems)​

We have used _myServerLicense.CounterMethod = LicenseInformation.CounterMethodEnum.CountByCounter;

We have set counter to 10 in licensing website.

As you can see in current site , we have activated counter = 2, but license overview show as 4 out of 10

@Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems)​ are we doing something wrong, why the difference in Allsites and current site?

Did you see the support case I opened?

where can we see that?
