       • If there is no Admin level user associated with your company, contact Videon support for assistance

How to install a license manually on a device not connected for communication with Videon’s LiveEdge Cloud Control platform (ONLY on software versions >V10.4.0)

In most cases, Videon devices are configured with Cloud Control enabled by default on shipment. If you are an active Cloud Control user, the above instructions should suffice for licensing your Videon device. If, however, your Videon device(s) are installed in a workflow requiring that communication with the Cloud Control platform is disabled, these instructions will help you determine how to install a license on your device manually using Cloud Control simply for the procurement and download of the license. (NOTE: This functionality is only available on software versions >V10.4.0).

1. Pre-requisite: the above steps must be completed for the device on which you will be assigning the license.
2. Navigate to https://videoncloud.com/devices and navigate to the device of interest. Note: the device does NOT need to be online in LiveEdge Cloud for this.
3. Navigate to the Licenses tab of the device of concern.
4. Click Reload to ensure your license list is current.
   
5. Click Download License File
   
    
6. A license file with your Device Name and ending in the file extension .lic will be downloaded to your computer.
   
7. Navigate to the Videon device’s local web UI. See Connecting to Videon devices for more information on accessing the Videon local web UI.
8. Navigate to the Advanced page of the web UI.
9. Under the Feature Licensing section, click the Upload Entitlement button under Upload entitlement license.
   
10. Upload the license file just downloaded to your PC.
11. If successful, you will receive a dialog box stating that the upload was successful.
    
    • Otherwise, if the upload fails, you will receive an error message
      • In this example, a file that was not a valid license file was uploaded:
        
12. Reboot your device for the license to fully apply.
