Reminders for VAST Software License

 Limitations:
1. The Batch import/export function applies when a managing VAST server needs to collect and
update the licensing information from subordinate VAST substations and itself. An enterprise
may have a central management server and several VAST instances running in branch offic-
es. In that case, the substations will be listed on the device list, and may not be displayed on a
hierarchical structure.
The Batch import/export function is accessed through the Help > License menu on LiveCli-
ent.
2. The batch download/import function only takes effect on a VAST instance running on server,
not on the Linux-based NVR.
3. The trial channels on VAST substations will not be available for use on a managing VAST
server (one that manages multiple substations).
4. If you access a VAST deployment via a web console, the license related information will not
be available.
5. In this revision, an identical software license applies to both VIVOTEK and other-brand cam-
eras (ONVIF). You do not need to activate two different kinds of software licenses.
6. The Batch export update of the current license profile is supported.
7. The licensing mechanism does not apply to machines running Virtualized OSes (VMWare,
VirtualBox, Hyper-V, Parallels), either through an upgrade or generating software license on
a new installation.
8. If VAST is removed and then re-installed, the number of licensed channels remains intact.
9. If users plan to integrate the software licenses from previous dongle licenses, problems may
occur if users changed the exported license file name.
