If you have decided to use manual license activation and you have forgotten to activate a license within the grace period (hardware device, XProtect Interconnect camera, door licenses, or others), the device using that license becomes unavailable and cannot send data to the surveillance system.

Even if a license’s grace period has expired, the device configuration and settings you have made are saved and used when the license is activated.

To enable the unavailable devices again, you activate the licenses manually in your preferred way. For more information, see Activate licenses offline or Activate licenses online.
