    How to activate Bosch Video Management System license (below BVMS v11.0 version)?

    In order to use the software modules, the software needs to be licensed and to receive licenses for the software, the keys need to be registered online.

    This article explains how to license a system that runs in full Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) mode with help of Security Systems Software License Manager tool (SLMS).

    This article also applies when:

    For example, if you already have BVMS licence with 100 cameras,  your site requires more cameras and you've purchased one more licence of 100 cameras.

    Article requirements:

    • BVMS
    • Access to internet
    • Recommended Browser: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome
    • Valid account to log in into the Bosch Online license Management System (SLMS) or a valid email address to register
    • Access to PC to get Hardware ID

    Depending on the appliance type or BVMS standalone system, there is an upper limit of licenses that can be installed. Please check this information before purchasing the licenses.

    Before a license can be activated, you need to create an account on the Bosch Security Systems Software License Manager.

    15. Nice to do:

    If you ordered software packages, expansions and optional features, we recommend you to download the Bundle file containing all the licenses and import them in License Manager from Configuration Client. It is also recommended to import the bundle file if you tried to activate the license and the following error message was diplayed: "The activation key is not valid". Perhaps you have selected the wrong set of licenses.

    a. Copy the Authorization Number

    Important:

    • Please note that PC should be connected to the network with only the normal LAN port during the activation.
    • Any other connection (WiFi dongle etc) will cause Hardware ID changing.
    • This procedure can also be applied for DIP units
