GNR-3000 System Administrator's Manual
License and Activation
In GNR, your required number of channels should be licensed and activated before connecting
the devices. The License Key, provided by ACTi sales representative once your purchase of
license is carried out, will be used to activate the license. After the license activation, the
channels on NVR server will automatically become available.
Aside from ACTi brand devices, NVR 3.0 system is able to support other vendors' devices.
ACTi brand devices and non-ACTi brand devices are licensed by different license types:
- Standard License: ACTi brand devices
- CDP License: Other vendors' devices
(For supported non-ACTi cameras list, please refer to
Please note:
The license is cumulative and perpetual.
The license is not version-specific; upgrading software version will not influence the
existing license you have activated on NVR 3.0 server.
The number of CDP-licensed channels (for non-ACTi brand cameras) and that of
standard-licensed channels (for ACTi devices) are counted separately.
Any device added through ONVIF (either ACTi or non-ACTi devices) will also need to be
licensed. The license type used will solely be based on the brand of the device.
The maximum number of devices (ACTi brand + non-ACTi brands) that can be managed
by NVR 3.0 server is 100.
After activating CDP license, please follow the instructions in Add Non-ACTi Cameras on
page 67 to manually add those non-ACTi cameras to NVR system.
License activation is the process of unlocking the channels on NVR interface with the received
License
Key.
License Key is a serial number delivered as a printed card or an E-mail after
the purchase is carried out.
During license activation, your License Key is matched against the MAC address of the
Network Interface Card (NIC) on NVR server computer. Once this license key is used by the
computer with given MAC, it cannot be activated with another MAC. This matching record will
be stored on the ACTi license data server. If your computer has more than one network cards,
NVR server will detect them and provide you a dropdown list to select from.
