  Hi X-ALARM TECHNIK,

  Thanks for reaching out about moving your customer’s sites from Wisenet WAVE to Nx Witness.

  Unfortunately, the existing WAVE licenses can’t be used with Nx Witness. Licenses are specific to the Company that issued them, and they can’t be transferred, migrated, or converted between other Powered by Nx products. To run the 150 cameras on Nx Witness, your customer needs a new set of Nx Witness licenses.

  For pricing, contact your Nx Witness distributor or reseller. 

  The good news is that you don’t have to rebuild the sites from scratch. You can migrate each site from WAVE to Nx Witness and keep the existing configuration and video archive. 

  The full procedure is descibed here:

  • Migrate a Site to a Different OEM

  Before you start, keep these points in mind:

  1. Have the Nx Witness license keys ready before the migration, so the cameras keep recording after the switch.
  2. Install the exact same Server version of Nx Witness as the current WAVE version. You can update to the latest Nx Witness version after the migration is done.
  3. Make sure you have physical or remote access to every Server on each site.
  4. Plan a maintenance window. The Servers are stopped while the data is moved, so there will be a recording gap.

  Best regards.
