Introduction
Centralised tracker licencing is a new feature available in Witness ClearWay™ and AdvanceGuard® since V4.8 - Cetralised licensing is not available for Witness versions older than V4.8 . This significantly simplifies the process of licensing trackers and also removes any licencing considerations when swapping radar in and out on a site. The primary difference compared to the older system is that the tracker software licence is no longer tied to any single item of hardware, instead the licence is tied to the site. This enables us to install the site licence on as many radar or servers as required and as long as the total number of active radar does exceed the licence count for the site then everything will be automatically authorised.

For central licencing to work correctly the entire system has to be time synchronised, when using onboard tracking this requires that the radars have been configured with an NTP source. |
| Note |

Centralised licensing will not work on Witness versions older than V4.8. (e.g. Centralised license will not work on V4.7) |

How many active radar are required
The MAC / Physical address of the Primary Management Server hardware
The MAC / Physical address of the Secondary Management Server hardware, if using a fully redundant configuration
Examples
Example 1
The customer is deploying 8 active radar all of the same model and is using only a single Management Server
...
A single Management Server Licence with a tracker limit of 8x radar.
A single Tracker Licence (for use on all radar).
Navtech will require the MAC / Physical address of the server that is hosting the Management Server app.
Example 2
The customer is deploying 10 active radar, 4 of one model, 6 of another, and has also purchased a spare radar for rapid replacement. The customer is not using redundancy.
...
A single Management Server Licence with a tracker limit of 10x radar.
A single Tracker Licence (for use on all radar, including the spare).
The models make no difference to the tracker licence
No additional licence is required for the hot spare but it can have the Tracker Licence installed
Navtech will require the MAC / Physical address of the server that is hosting the Management Server app.
Example 3
The customer is deploying 50 active radar, has two spares and is also using a fully redundant setup
