Functionality (configuration) of the system is restricted by the activation key supplied together with the INTELLECT™ software installation package. Operations with the activation files are described in the Installing and removing INTELLECT™ software section.
The activation key activates the system functionality. Whenever the system configuration needs to be extended (for instance, where a subsystem, which is not included in the basic configuration, is required), to enable functionality of the program module corresponding to the subsystem which needs to be installed, the previous activation key is to be replaced with a new one, which will restrict updated system functionality.
Replacement of the previous activation key with a new activation key initiates the updated set of functional subsystems when the system is reset.
In a distributed system the configuration of each computer depends not only on this computer’s activation key, but on the activation keys of other computers in the distributed system. That is, the maximum functionality of each computer in the distribute system is limited by the activation key of the computer with minimum capabilities. Thus, the same activation key is recommended to be used on all computers in the distributed system.
The activation key is bound to computer equipment. The bind to the equipment is performed by three means:
Activation key is required when the Intellect software installing with the Remote Administrator Workstation or Sever installation type. If the Remote Monitoring Workstation installation type is selected, the activation key is not required.
