Licenses - Global Settings

The Licenses node manages the CM licenses within your network. These control to which functionality of the console you have access and which modules must be loaded.

For any unlicensed functionality the respective main node will not visible at all, subnodes such as assigned Devices or assigned Device Groups will be dimmed and the corresponding icons, for example, for assigning devices or groups.

The main Licenses node provides its information via the following tabs:

  • Licenses
  • Events

The following types of licenses are available for CM :

Full License

This license provides the necessary access to the software and its basic components. When it is imported it will erase any previously imported license, such as an earlier full license or a temporary license. This type of license defines the number of licenses that are available for each purchased functionality. If a functionality exceeds its license count all administrators with the capability to manage licenses will be notified of this fact by email, if they have one defined in their profile.

Also, when the console is opened a pop-up-window appears to inform you which licenses have exceeded. In this case some functionalities such as assigning objects to each other might no longer be available under the respective nodes.

Incremental License

This license adds either to the number of devices or adds access to other features of the product such as software distribution or remote control. It does not modify or remove any of the existing incremental or full licenses but is added to them. However, temporary licenses will be removed by it.

Temporary License

Each DVD of the software comes with a temporary license which is valid for all features but limited to 20 devices and 30 days of usage after installation. When installing the master a selection of the features to be evaluated must be made which are then included in this temporary license.

This type of license cannot be combined with any other license, as soon as you import any other type of license it is erased. In the same way all already existing licenses will be removed when you import a temporary license. If this license expires without being replaced by a full license, only the only node shown in the console will be the license node, no other object will be accessible anymore.

If a license is expired all administrators with the capability to manage licenses will be notified of this fact by email, if they have one defined in their profile. Also, when the console is opened a pop-up-window appears to inform you which licenses have expired. In this case the respective nodes will no longer appear in your console.
