Hi sabari rajan,
Thank you for bringing up this topic about license activation for cameras.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution when it comes to activating licenses, and there are different strategies that can be considered depending on the specific needs and circumstances of the user.
Some customers may choose to activate licenses across multiple servers with one license channel per camera to ensure continuous recording, even after the 30-day grace period, in the case the server loses connection to the other servers in the hive.
On the other hand, some customers may prefer to assign all licenses to a single server in a secure data center to ensure that the licenses are not lost in the event of a server failure, theft, or other incidents.
Ultimately, the choice of license activation strategy should be based on the specific requirements and preferences of the user. Factors such as the number of cameras, server reliability, redundancy, and the level of security required may all play a role in determining the best approach.
Therefore, it is important to carefully evaluate the options available and choose the activation strategy that best meets the needs of your organization. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding license activation, please do not hesitate to reach out to the software provider for additional guidance and support.
