Manage License

After installing HikCentral Professional, you have a temporary License for a specified number of cameras and limited functions. To ensure the proper use of HikCentral Professional, you can activate the SYS to access more functions and manage more devices. If you do not want to activate the SYS now, you can skip this chapter and activate the system later.

Two types of License are available for HikCentral Professional:

  • Base: You need to purchase at least one basic License to activate the HikCentral Professional.

  • Expansion: If you want to increase the capability of your system (e.g., connect more cameras), you can purchase an expanded License to get additional features.

Note:
  • Only the admin user can perform the activation, update, and deactivation operation.

  • If you encounter any problems during activation, update, and deactivation, please send the server logs to our technical support engineers.
