Activation Key Overview
IP-20 offers a pay-as-you-grow concept in which future capacity growth and
additional functionality can be enabled with activation keys. Each device contains
a single unified activation key cipher.
New IP-20 units are delivered with a default activation key that enables you to
manage and configure the unit. Additional feature and capacity support requires
you to enter an activation key cipher in the Activation Key Configuration page.
Contact your vendor to obtain your activation key cipher.
Note:
To obtain an activ
ation key cipher, you may need to provide the unit’s
serial number. You can display the serial number in the Web EMS
Inventory page. See
Each required feature and capacity should be purchased with an appropriate
activation key. It is not permitted to enable features that are not covered by a
valid activation key. In the event that the activation-key-enabled capacity and
feature set is exceeded, an Activation Key Violation alarm occurs and the Web
EMS displays a yellow background and an activation key violation warning. After a
48-hour grace period, all other alarms are hidden until the capacity and features
in use are bro
ught within the activation key’s capacity and feature set.
In order to clear the alarm, you must configure the system to comply with the
activation key that has been loaded in the system. The system automatically
checks the configuration to ensure that it complies with the activation-key-
enabled features and capacities. If no violation is detected, the alarm is cleared.
When entering sanction state, the system configuration remains unchanged, even
after power cycles. However, the alarms remain hidden until an appropriate
activation key is entered or the features and capacities are re-configured to be
within the parameters of the current activation key.
Demo mode is available, which enables all features for 60 days. When demo
mode expires, the most recent valid activation key goes into effect. The 60-day
period is only counted when the system is powered up. 10 days before demo
mode expires, an alarm is raised indicating that demo mode is about to expire.
