ExacqVision Licensing Guide
exacqVision Professional vs Enterprise: Which License Do You Need?
Professional and Enterprise are different exacqVision server editions. Camera licenses and Software Subscription Agreements must match the edition already installed on the server.
Professional edition
Professional is intended for individual or distributed recorders that need the core exacqVision feature set. Additional Professional IP camera channels are ordered with EVIP-01.
A Professional server requiring a current-version update or renewed software-update period uses the Professional SSA product.
Enterprise edition
Enterprise adds centralized and enterprise-management capabilities for larger multi-server environments. Exacq documentation identifies Enterprise-only management features such as centralized administration across servers.
Additional Enterprise IP camera channels are ordered with EVENIP-01. Enterprise software updates require the Enterprise SSA product.
Do not mix editions
EVIP-01 is not a substitute for EVENIP-01. Likewise, SSA-PRO-C should not be used where an Enterprise server requires SSA-ENT-C.
Before ordering, check the license type shown in the exacqVision server license information.
Simple selection guide
- Existing server says Professional: choose EVIP-01 for extra IP channels and SSA-PRO-C for the applicable Professional software-update requirement.
- Existing server says Enterprise: choose EVENIP-01 for extra IP channels and SSA-ENT-C for the applicable Enterprise software-update requirement.
- Moving either edition to a new server identifier: add EVIP-TRANSFER and confirm current SSA.
Upgrading from Professional to Enterprise
You do not have to start over. An existing Professional server can be converted to Enterprise with an upgrade license: each existing Professional camera channel is converted with the EVIP-EVENIP upgrade license (PROFESSIONAL to ENTERPRISE IP license upgrade, one per channel), and the server then runs the Enterprise edition — centralized management (ESM), self-service license transfers between your servers and the other Enterprise features. Your cameras, recordings and settings stay in place.
E-mail sales@exacqlicenses.com your server MAC address and the current licensed camera count and we will prepare an upgrade quote. For multi-site systems the upgrade can be combined with aligning all SSA renewals to a single date.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add an Enterprise camera license to a Professional server?
No. The camera-license product must match the server edition.
Does Enterprise use SSA-PRO-C?
No. Enterprise systems require the Enterprise SSA product.
How do I confirm the edition?
Open the server license information in exacqVision Client and review the licensed feature level.
Can Professional be upgraded to Enterprise?
