Total License Information
Camera licenses are dynamic and exclusively apply to cameras marked with a Recording status. If the number of such cameras exceeds the available channels in all active camera licenses, prioritization is determined by the camera's ID. Each camera is assigned a unique ID in sequential order based on when it was added to the system. Consequently, when additional channels are introduced, licenses are allocated to cameras with Recording status in the order of their addition, with earlier additions receiving higher priority for licensing.
To view the total license information, select the Total Information button. The total information comprises:
- List of cameras and analytics included in all licenses (both active and inactive)
- Number of available camera сhannels
- Number of analytics channels available for simultaneous connection
- Number of currently used cameras and running analytics
License Details

License Deactivation
To deactivate the desired license, click the Delete icon on the toolbox. In the Delete License pop-up window:
- Enter the "deactivate" word in the corresponding field
- Click the Confirm button to confirm the intention
Deactivating the license will automatically stop all running analytics and they cannot be restarted until the license is reactivated. If the deactivation confirmation pop-up window was opened by accident, just close it without confirming the intention.
