Centralised licensing will not work on Witness Witness™ versions older than V4.8. (e.g. Centralised license will not work on V4.7) |
...
The definition of an active radar is one that is powered, connected to the Witness Witness™ software and has been allocated a software tracker. Only an active radar can generate real-time target data. A non-active radar is one that is not part of a live system. For example a radar which is being stored offsite in case a rapid replacement is required, is a non-active radar.
...
There are two tracker licencing components, both of which are deployed as part of the central Witness Witness™ licence file:
Management Server Licence
...
| Info |
|---|
Note that each Management Server must have its own Witness Witness™ licence file, so if using a fully redundant setup with two Management SeversServers, both must have access to Witness Witness™ licence with the embedded central tracking licence. Note that each Witness Witness™ licence file will need its own version of the Management Server Licence component that is the linked to the relevant MAC address of its host hardware server. |
...
Both the Management Server Licence and the Tracker Licence components are stored inside the Witness Witness™ licence file. Once this file is loaded by the Management Server on system start-up all the components are automatically deployed to where they are needed. No further action is required to licence the trackers.
...
Requesting a Licence
In order to create the Witness Witness™ licence, Navtech must know the total number of active radar that will be deployed on the site. In addition we must know the MAC address of one or both servers which will be hosting the Witness Witness™ Management Server application.
...
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
...
If the customer needs to expand the site by adding more active radar, then the software will require an updated Witness Witness™ licence. The central Management Server Licence component needs to be updated with the new active tracker limit.
...
| Info |
|---|
If using a redundant setup you will need to replace the Witness Witness™ licence containing the new Management Server component on both servers hosting the Management Server app. |
