Introduction

This page covers Per Tracker Licensing which is a legacy method for licensing Track Engines. There are three options; Dongle, File and Database. Each ties the licence to the hardware by authorizing each tracker.

Contents

Dongle

For this option, a physical USB dongle holds a Cambridge Pixel Licence and needs to be plugged into the track engine computer. The dongle licence will define a number of trackers that can run concurrently on that physical server.

  • The physical USB dongle acts as the licence file

  • It allows for the capability to run trackers that can be easily transferred between physical machines

  • It is a legacy method for licensing Track Engines

  • This method is used by our Partners for demo systems

File

For this option, the licence file is locked to the supplied MAC address, therefore it cannot be transferred between physical, or virtual, machines.

  • The MAC address supplied will be from the Track Engine NIC (Network Interface Controller). If multi-homed then the NIC is used for comms with radars.

  • The track engine licence file will define a number of trackers that can run concurrently on that physical server.

  • It’s a legacy method for licensing Cambridge Pixel trackers to run on Track Engine Servers.

Installation of Licence

To install this licence:

  1. Copy the licence file to C:\ of the track engine server(s).

  2. Next, rename the file to cp-spx.lic

Database

This is for On-Board only, where a licence file is locked to the supplied MAC address of the On-Board module. This means that you require one licence file per tracker.

  • The licence file is locked to the supplied MAC address, therefore it cannot be transferred between physical, or virtual, machines.

  • The MAC address supplied will be from the Radar Triton Module NIC, reported as On-Board MAC Address on the radar configuration report.

Installation of Licence

This is uploaded to the radar via the ClearWay™ User Interface:

  1. To install the licence, select the radar and click Settings:

  2. Then click Edit:

  3. Then select Actions:

  4. This will then allow you to select Licence Tracker:

  5. Explorer will open allowing you to select the licence file.

Requesting a Licence

In order to create the Per Track Engine Witness™ Licence, Navtech must know the MAC address of each Track Engine.

In order to create the Per On-Board Tracker Witness™ Licence, Navtech must know the MAC address of each On-Board Module.

A MAC address (or physical address) is a unique identifier that is allocated to all network adapters inside a connected device. Everything that can connect to an Ethernet network has a MAC address, this includes PCs, servers, tablets and mobile phones. On Windows you can easily find your MAC address by looking at the properties of your active network connection.

When requesting a licence from Navtech you will need to provide us with the following information so we can provide the correct tracker licensing components:

  1. How many active radar are required.

  2. The MAC / physical address of each Track Engine Server hardware.

Adding Additional Radar

If you need to expand the site by adding more active radar, then the software will require an updated tracker licence.

If using a redundant setup you will need to replace every track engine licence with a new one which contains the new licence count.
