Offline License Activation

There are two ways to activate the license offline: generating C2V and V2C files or using a V2C file provided by BriefCam.

Generating C2V and V2C Files

Generate a C2V File

To activate the license on a server that is not connected to the internet, you first will need to generate a Client to Vendor file “C2V” from the BriefCam server.

On the BriefCam server, open the BriefCam License Activation tool. By default, it is located on the desktop.

If it is not on the desktop, search for it in the Start menu or you can find it in the BriefCam Server folder.

Click the Offline tab.
Click the Collect Information button.
Select where to save the C2V file in the opened window.
Copy the file to an internet-connected machine.

Generate a V2C File

On an internet-connected machine, go to https://briefcam.prod.sentinelcloud.com/customer/login.
Click the EID button.
In the EID field, enter the BriefCam license provided by BriefCam.
Click the Log In button.
Click Register Later.
Select the product(s) you want to activate.
Click the Activate Offline button.
Click the Select File button. (You can also drag and drop the file.)
Select the C2V file that you generated earlier (see Generate a C2V File) and click Complete Activation.
Click Download License.
