The exacqVision VMS software licenses a specific number of channels to a key based upon the server NIC’s MAC address.
A license includes the maximum number of IP devices, an SSA period for software updates, analog video channels for Hybrid NVRs, and the functional level for the software. The functional levels are:
- Start
- Professional
- Enterprise
See the Features Matrix for comparison details.<br><br>
Multiple NICs
If you have multiple NICs, the MAC address of only one NIC must be licensed. MAC addresses of the individual cameras are not required for a valid license.

Software Subscription Agreement
A license key is valid for the period chosen when ordering. This license key includes a Software Subscription Agreement (SSA) allowing the software to be updated to versions released prior to the expiration date. Updates add new functionality and features, and may address bug fixes.
When an exacqVision SSA expires, no functionality of the software is lost. The system will continue to operate as is, but you will no longer be able to update to newer versions as they are released.
Additional years of SSA are available for purchase at the time of initial purchase or at a later time.
A new license key may be imported to expand he number of connected cameras, enhance the feature level, or extend the SSA period without restarting the software.
