Modifying an Existing License (Quick Method)

This is the Edit pencil icon.

If you want to add more cameras to the system, or simply extend your support agreement, you will need to modify an existing Orchid Core VMS license.

*A valid support agreement is required to install software updates. If your agreement expires, you will be able to install versions of the software that were released before your agreement expired, but you will not be able to install new software updates. (If you attempt to install software that was released after your support expires, your Orchid Core VMS server will not function properly; contact your IPConfigure sales representative to purchase an upgrade or renewal).

*If you have an expired, time-limited license, Orchid Core VMS will enter a degraded state and will stop recording. (See the License Errors topic in the Orchid Core VMS Administrator Guide for more details.)

*If you add, remove, or update a license, a Licensed Changed event will appear on the System Report.

1. Once you access the Servers screen, select a server and click on the Activation tab.

2. When the Orchid Core VMS Activation screen appears (above), click the Update License button.

3. When the Activation screen appears, enter your Renewal/Add-On code into the Activation or Upgrade Code field.
4. In the Location field, enter a description that specifies where your Orchid Core VMS server will be located. Common location descriptions are a shop name, number, or address.
5. Click the Activate button. The Orchid Core VMS Activation screen should appear and should display updated license information. (In this case, the number of licensed cameras has increased.)
