Functionality (configuration) of the system is restricted by the license key supplied together with the Axxon PSIM™ software installation package. Operations with the license files are described in the Installing and removing Axxon PSIM™ software section.

The license 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 license key is to be replaced with a new one, which will restrict updated system functionality.

Replacement of the previous license key with a new license key initiates the updated set of functional subsystems when the system is reset.

Important.

It is obligatory to restart Axxon PSIM after replacing the activation key. If Axxon PSIM is installed as a service, restart the AxxonSoft Axxon PSIM Core Server service (see also Working with Windows OS services for operating Axxon PSIM™ installed as a Service).

In a distributed system the configuration of each computer depends not only on this computer’s license key, but on the license keys of other computers in the distributed system. That is, the maximum functionality of each computer in the distribute system is limited by the license key of the computer with minimum capabilities. Thus, the same license key is recommended to be used on all computers in the distributed system.

The license key is bound to computer equipment. The bind is performed in one of the following ways:

  1. Binding to “Guardant” hardware dongle of one of the following type:
    1. Guardant Stealth II;
    2. Guardant Sign;
  2. Binding to “MatrixLock” hardware dongle;
  3. Binding to dallas-codes of video capture cards with cryptochip (FS5\6\8\16, WS7\17) of AxxonSoft production;
  4. Binding  to computer equipment (HID).

Important!

It is recommended to use Guardant dongle to bind the license key. This method is the most convenient, since it does not depend on the computer hardware (HID). The Guardant dongle allows avoiding errors in case of any board or card replacement.

License key is required when the Axxon PSIM software installing with the Remote Administrator Workstation or Sever installation type. If the Remote Client installation type is selected, the license key is not required.
