General information about VisionLabs module licensing

VisionLabs software module is licensed according to the following scheme:

Module in use	Licensing 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

To use the VisionLabs 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.

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.

Thus, the intellect.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.

You also need to purchase an additional license from VisionLabs, which is presented in the form of a software key, and install the VisionLabs SDK.

Installing the SDK and activating the software key for VisionLabs

To install the SDK and activate the software key for protecting the VisionLabs recognition module, do the following:

Download the archive with VisionLabs SDK 4.2.0. Extract the data folder from this archive to <Face Intellect installation directory>\Modules64\Firserver\FaceRecognition\VisionLabs.

Purchase a software key from VisionLabs. The software key will contain activation data: EID and ProductID (Product key). Enter these data in the license.conf file located at <Face Intellect installation directory>\Modules64\Firserver\FaceRecognition\VisionLabs\data.
