How do I apply a license to an exacqVision Server?

Only one license key may be applied on each system at a time. This license key includes information on the number of licensed IP Cameras the system is permitted to use as well as the specific system it is assigned to.

For information on increasing your licensed number of cameras or changing your license level, contact your authorized exacqVision dealer.

Individual License Update

To apply or update an individual system license, expand the exacqVision Server node on the navigation tree along the left-hand side of the Client window, then select Configure System.

On the System tab, the License section is found to the right. There are multiple methods available to apply a license to the software.

From Exacq.com

If your exacqVision Server has an internet connection, this is the simplest choice. This method will automatically pull the most recent license generated for the system.

  1. Press the Import button.
  2. Select ‘From exacq.com‘.

If there is a particular reason necessary for applying a license that was not the most recently generated, see the additional options below.

From File

If the server does not have an internet connection, you may use the .KEY file issued by Exacq Orders via email.

  1. Press the Import button.
  2. Select ‘From File‘.
  3. Navigate to the directory where you have saved the .KEY file to select and apply it to the system.

Manual Entry

The license key code may also be manually entered. The key code is also issued by Exacq Orders via email.

  1. Type the license key code into the License text field at the top of the license section.
  2. Press the Apply button.

All keys are displayed in XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XX alphanumeric format.

Batch License Update

A .KEY license and corresponding key code may be used on a single exacqVision Server, whereas a properly formatted .CSV file can be used to license multiple exacqVision servers with a single import. This method is useful for enterprise environments managing many servers.

  1. Create a new file (using a spreadsheet program or hand written text file to be formatted as CSV) where each row contains the system’s licensed MAC address in the first column and the license key code for that MAC address in the second column. If using Excel to create this table, be sure to save as .CSV.
  2. Select the Systems node from the very top of the navigation tree on the left-hand side of the exacqVision Client.
  3. Below the Systems list panel, select the Import License button.
  4. Navigate to the location of your .CSV file to select and apply.

You may also utilize the Export Licenses button to export a properly formatted .CSV containing this information for connected systems, which may be useful for keeping site records. If updating licenses rather than licensing for the first time, edit the exported file for later import to save time.
