Licensing Information
Licensing is required for some features, and you cannot enable those features without the
appropriate licensing. You can add licenses to your system using the Harmonic NodeLock
License Manager. Most licenses are permanent—once enabled the feature continues to function
without raising license-related alarms. A small set of licenses are time-limited and have different
behavior, as follows:

Streams that include features under license raise alarms when their licensing expires.

When licenses expire, streams continue to flow as configured, but cannot be modified or re-
enabled if disabled for any reason.

If any changes are made after a license expires, service might be affected, and other
operations, such as redundancy, might not function properly.

If a license is not installed for a feature, a grace period allows the feature to continue to fully
operate for an additional 45 days, at the end of which the system will cease to function.
Alarms are issued each day to advise you that licensing is required for a given feature.
In NodeLock License Manager, you can:

Add licenses to your Harmonic device

Remove licenses from your Harmonic device
To add licenses to your device in NodeLock License Manager:
1. Connect your device to the network with other Harmonic devices to allow License Manager
to identify your device.
2. Under
Devices List
>
Device IP
, select the check box to allow License Manager to locate
licenses available for your device.
3. Save the License Manager Database file for later retrieval from a local area network (optional).
