Obtaining and Activating DW Spectrum Licenses
DW Spectrum’s license policy is quite simple. Each Device requires License. The application has no device count
restrictions.
The License allows viewing and recording of a single Device. Cameras can be viewed live without Licenses allowing for
an unlimited number of Cameras to be connected and viewed live at no charge. I/O Module requires the specific
License.
Note: If recording is enabled for Device License is considered used even if recording is not performed ( icon in
Tree). Recording is required to capture Motion Detection and Input Detection events on Device.
For instance, the following screenshot illustrates the situation that Cameras are offline and not recording. However
recording is enabled on four Cameras (marked by ):
In this case 4 Licenses are being used.
See also "Setting up Recording Schedule".
Additionally there are Video Wall Licenses. Each one allows controlling video wall from a single computer (one
session) or extend Video Wall on 2 displays. For instance 4 licenses allow user to display Video Wall on 8 monitors and
control it from 4 clients concurrently.
