How do I authenticate an EdgeVis Server with the licence pool?

How to allow a server to authorise encoders to access your pool

A fundamental change between Version 8 and Version 9 is that rather than EdgeVis Servers being individually licensed via a manual process (via our Ops team), you now have a single global pool to access from.

To allow this to be possible, if you are hosting your servers, when you install a new server, you will have to "authorise" that server to allow encoders connected to it to seamlessly grab licenses for their cameras as they require.

How to do this:

  • Login to the licensing portal: https://licensing.digitalbarriers.com/.

  • Click the name of your licence estate in "Your estates". You may have more than one.

  • Click "See all pools" on the estate management page.

  • By default all licences are found in the Default pool but you may have others listed. Click the double arrow beside the licence pool where you want to add the server.

  • Click "Authenticate server/domain" at the top of the pool information page.

  • Provide the server with a unique name for your own identification, and click "Create".

  • A verification code will then be provided to be inserted into your server (which you can copy). These codes usually expire in 24 hours. Note that v9.2 codes are eight digits.

  • This code can now be inserted into your server
