License Update

The ACU-5000’s channels are enabled via license keys. To increase the number of channels on
the system, contact customer support. You may be asked to provide the current System ID
(shown on the License Key Update tool; see below), and/or the existing license key file (available
for download from the License Key Update tool).

After obtaining a license key, upload it to the system. A restart is required for the new license
key to take effect.
