Trial or demo license

When DSS 4.91 is installed for the first time, the software is fully functional in trial mode, supporting 50 devices for 60 days. The License section of the DSS Configuration Utility displays a "Trial License" message and the time remaining in the trial period. The trial license period cannot be extended. Once the trial license expires, customers must install a valid license to continue using DSS.

Upgrading from previous products

Licenses from DSS 3.0 and earlier revisions of DSS 4.x are fully functional in DSS 4.91. For DSS 3.0 it is required to manually enter each license key into the General tab in the Configuration Utility. For earlier revisions of DSS 4.x the licenses are carried over through the backup/restore feature.

Node locking

DSS licenses are protected by node locking. For more information, see the Node Locking on page 20 section of this guide.
