Importing the License Activation Code
- Choose from the main menu.
- Import activation codes or authorization IDs to activate licenses. Either activation codes or authorization IDs need to be imported.
- Click Import Activation Code.
- Multiple activation nodes need to be separated by line breaks.
- The number of activation codes cannot exceed 10.
- Click Import Auth ID.
- Multiple authorization IDs need to be separated by line breaks.
- The number of authorization IDs cannot exceed 10.
- Beginning from the first-time registration of a device, the device starts to consume license resources. License resources continue to be consumed if the device is online or offline, or reports alarms. License resource deduction starts at 02:00 every day, and each device consumes one license unit per day.
- In tenant subscription mode where license reallocation is not available, the system provides "2700 (device x day)" common series resources for users by default.
- Click Import Activation Code.
- View the license status.
- (Optional) Click Recalculate Expiration Time to set a unified expiration time for the license resources.
The unified expiration time is not applicable to common series resources.
Under a tenant, the expiration time of device licenses with the same device type is automatically recalculated when settlement is performed on a daily basis.
Under a tenant, the expiration time of device licenses with different device types is not automatically calculated. To unify the expiration time, perform this operation.
This operation configures resource items that have different expiration time with the same expiration time for easy management, and cannot be reversed.
The Recalculate Expiration Time function can be used to integrate resources. For example, there are three types of license resource items, including AR100 series: 10 device-day with 5 yuan per device-day; AR1200 series: 20 device-day with 10 yuan per device-day; and indoor AP series: 20 device-day with 20 yuan per device-day. Assume that iMaster NCE-Campus manages five AR100 series devices and 10 AR1200 series devices. You can click Recalculate Expiration Time to integrate license resources. The formulas are as follows: 10 x 5 + 20 x 10 + 20 x 20 = 650; 5 x 5 + 10 x 10 = 125 (consumption of all devices in a day); 650/125 = 5 R 25 (remainder 25). Then, the license resources of the AR100 and AR1200 series devices will expire in five days. The remaining 25 yuan will be added to the new license resource pool to be integrated in the next calculation.
This function enables resource allocation to be more flexible and resources that are in arrears can be consumed normally by resource integration.
- Click Expiration Notification, enable Receive expiration notification, and configure the email addresses of the recipients. Notification emails will be sent to the specified email addresses before the license expires.
The system administrator must configure an email server before enabling Receive expiration notification. Otherwise, this function cannot be successfully enabled. For details, see Configuring an Email Server.
A maximum of five email addresses can be configured. Each email address is separated by a line break.
When license resource items are about to expire in less than 30 days, the system sends a notification email at 02:25 every day.
