Cognitec software module is licensed according to the following scheme:

Module in useLicensing scheme

Visitor counting channel

By the number of channels

Archive search channel

By the number of channels

Recognition channel

By the number of faces in the database

Thus, the psim.sec key file is purchased for each camera in use and a certain number of faces stored in the database. Additional key files are not required.

To use the Cognitec software module in multi-threading mode, the number of faces in the database is determined as follows:

  • If the number of face detectors used is greater than or equal to the value of the CpuCoreCount registry key, then the license is purchased for the number of faces in the database, which is defined as: the required number of reference faces + the value of the CpuCoreCount key;
  • If the number of face detectors used is less than the value of the CpuCoreCount registry key, then the license is purchased for the number of faces in the database, which is defined as: the required number of reference faces + the number of face detectors used.

Note

For example:

  • If CpuCoreCount = 4, and the configuration includes 4 or more face detectors, then a license for 104 reference faces should be purchased for a database with 100 reference faces;
  • If CpuCoreCount = 4, and the configuration includes 1 face detector, then a license for 101 reference faces should be purchased for a database with 100 reference faces.

In both cases, the actual number of reference faces that can be contained in the database will be 100.

See Registry keys reference guide, for details about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry.

It is also necessary to purchase a software key that is tied to the computer's operating system. To obtain a software key, do the following:

  1. With administrator rights, in the command line run the hwkey.bat file, which is located in the <Face PSIM installation directory>\Modules64\Firserver\FaceRecognition\Cognitec8\bin folder.

    Attention!

    The hwkey.bat file should be run on the PC that will run the face recognition module.
  2. As a result, the Cognitec8lic.txt file will be generated. Send it to AxxonSoft technical support. Technical support specialists will provide you with the activationkey.cfg file. Rename it to Cognitec8License.cfg and move to the <Face PSIM installation directory>\Modules64\Firserver\FaceRecognition\Cognitec8\bin folder.
  3. With administrator rights, run the CognitecLicenseUtil.exe file, which is located in the <Face PSIM installation directory>\Modules64\Firserver\FaceRecognition.

Attention!

If you change the operating system on the PC that runs the face recognition module, you will need a new activation key.

Changing the hardware configuration or the name of the PC that runs the recognition module does not affect the activation key.
