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 activation 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 Displaying Unit
Inventory.
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 brought 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.
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.
