Introduction
Centralised tracker licensing is a new feature available in Sea360® and Witness ClearWay™ and AdvanceGuard® from V4.8 and above. This significantly simplifies the process of licensing trackers and also removes any licensing 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.
