Licenses (explained)
Free XProtect Essential+
If you have installed XProtect Essential+, you can run the system and eight device licenses for free. Automatic license activation is enabled, and hardware will be activated as you add it to the system.
Only when you upgrade to a more advanced XProtect product and need to change your SLC (Software License Code) (see Change the Software License Code), the rest of this topic and the other licensing-related topics in this documentation could be relevant for you.
Licenses for XProtect VMS products (except XProtect Essential+)
Software license file and SLCs
當您購買軟體與授權時，您會得到：
- 訂單確認通知，以及副檔名為 .lic 且按您的 SLC（軟體授權碼）命名的軟體授權檔案的電子郵件
- Milestone Care 涵蓋範圍
Your SLC is also printed on your order confirmation and consists of several numbers and letters grouped by hyphens like:
- Product version 2014 or earlier: xxx-xxxx-xxxx
- Product version 2016 or later: xxx-xxx-xxx-xx-xxxxxx
The software license file contains all information about your purchased VMS products, add-on products, and licenses. Milestone recommends that you store the information about your SLC and a copy of your software license file in a safe place for later use. You can also see your SLC in the License Information window in Management Client. You can open the License Information window in the Site Navigation pane -> Basics node -> License Information.You may need the software license file or your SLC when you, for example, create a My Milestone user account, contact your reseller for support, or if you need to make changes to your system.
Overall process for installation and licensing
To get started, you download the software from our website (https://www.milestonesys.com/downloads/). While you are installing (see Install a new XProtect system) the software, you are asked to provide the software license file. You cannot complete the installation without a software license file.
Once the installation is complete and you have added some cameras, you must activate your licenses (see License activation (explained). You activate your licenses from the License Information window in Management Client. Here you can also see an overview of your licenses for all installations on the same SLC. You can open the License Information window in the Site Navigation pane -> Basics node -> License Information.
License types
XProtect 授權系統中有多個授權類型。
基本授權
XProtect VMS 產品之一至少應具有一個基本授權。您還可擁有 XProtect 加值產品的一個或多個基本授權。
裝置授權
您至少應有多個裝置授權。通常，每個硬體裝置 (包含您要新增到系統的一個攝影機) 都需要一個裝置授權。但這可能會因不同硬體裝置 (是否為 Milestone 受支援硬體裝置) 而異。如需更多資訊，請參閱受支援的硬體裝置和不受支援的硬體裝置。
如果您要使用 XProtect Mobile 中的視訊推送功能，每個行動裝置或平板電腦還需要一個裝置授權，以便將視訊推送至您的系統。
連接到您裝置的喇叭、麥克風或是輸入與輸出裝置，不需要硬體裝置授權。
通常，每個硬體裝置 (包含您要新增到系統的一個攝影機) 都需要一個裝置授權。但一些受支援的硬體裝置需要多個裝置授權。您可以在 Milestone 網站 (https://www.milestonesys.com/supported-devices/) 上支援硬體的清單中查看您的硬體裝置需要的裝置授權數量。
對於多達 16 個頻道的視訊編碼器，每個視訊編碼器 IP 位址僅需一個裝置授權。視訊編碼器可設有一個或多個 IP 位址。
但是，如果視訊編碼器包含的頻道超過 16 個，則視訊編碼器上每個啟動的攝影機均需一個裝置授權 - 前 16 個啟動的攝影機也是如此。
對於不受支援的硬體裝置，使用一個視訊頻道的每個已啟動攝影機需要一個裝置授權。
不受支援的硬體裝置不會顯示在 Milestone 網站 (https://www.milestonesys.com/supported-devices/) 的受支援硬體清單中。
Milestone Interconnect™ 的攝影機授權
要執行 Milestone Interconnect，您需要在中央站台的 Milestone Interconnect 攝影機授權數以檢視。要求的 Milestone Interconnect 攝影機授權數目取決於您想要接收資料的遠端站台的硬體裝置數目。只有 XProtect Corporate 才能作為中央站台。
加值產品授權
大部分 XProtect 加值產品都需要額外的授權類型。軟體授權檔案也包括有關加值產品授權的資訊。部分加值產品具有自己的獨立軟體授權檔案。
