Go to Manage System > Manage Licensing to open the License Management Screen, (FIG. 39).
The screen consists of two columns. On the left is the System license column which shows all the licenses available/allocated for
your Vision
2
system. Each Vision
2
service has its own license. Allocating a license to a server allows users to use a service on that
server. On the right of the screen is the Allocated licenses column showing the list of Vision
2
servers installed in your system and a
list of licenses of each type allocated to each server.
NOTE: There is one special row called V2-VOD this is used to allocate video on demand bandwidth to the servers in units of 10Mb/s to
determine how much video on demand bandwidth each machine can support. All servers which can support Archives are provided
with 10Mb/s by default (this does not come out of the Users VOD license allowance).
