Licensing Information
Licensing is required for some encoding features, and you cannot enable those features
without the appropriate licensing. You can add licenses to your system using the Harmonic
NLM 4.0 (NodeLock License Manager). Most licenses are permanent—once enabled the
feature will continue to function without raising license-related alarms. A small set of licenses
are time-limited and have different behavior, as follows:
n
Streams that include features under license will raise alarms when their licensing expires.
n
When licenses expire, streams will continue to flow as configured, but cannot be modified
or re-enabled if disabled for any reason.
n
If any changes are made after a license expires, service may be affected, and other
operations, such as redundancy, may not function properly.
n
If a license is not installed for a feature that is enabled, a grace period will allow that
function to operate fully for 45 days. Alarms will issue each day to advise you that
licensing is required for a given feature.
n
If the 45-day grace period has been used temporarily, the 45-day period will
incrementally renew as long as there are no unlicensed features enabled.
In NLM 4.0 (NodeLock License Manager), you can:
n
Add licenses to your Harmonic device.
n
Remove licenses from your Harmonic device.
