Upgrades
Free upgrade of (AXIS Camera Station 3 & 4) Channel licenses to Core Device licenses with AXIS Camera Station version 5.17 and above. During the upgrade, you may be requested to contact Axis for verification of your existing license key(s).
From AXIS Camera Station version 5.17, the limit of maximum 32 Core Device Licenses per system is removed. This means that Universal Device Licenses are no longer needed for systems containing only Axis devices.
Trial mode
When adding new devices to the system, a trial period of 30 days is offered for the newly added devices.

* Currently, and until further notice, one Core Device license is included in the products listed below. There is no need to buy additional licenses when purchasing such product.
Applies to: A1001, A9188/-VE, A9161, C1004-E, C1310-E, C1410, C2005, C3003-E, C8033, C8210
**The AXIS A1601 does not include a core device license as it has full and unified support within AXIS Camera Station Secure Entry. The license included in the AXIS A1001 is due to limited functionality along with the AXIS Entry Manager which handles access control with some basic integration to the AXIS Camera Station.
PT Head Cameras Q8721 and Q8722 are two separate cameras sold as a bundle, thus they require two device licenses in AXIS Camera Station.
You can easily calculate the licenses required for your system using our License Calculator.

eLicenses
The AXIS Camera Station licenses are available using electronic delivery, this is the recommended way of licensing. When eLicenses are ordered there will be no physical delivery. Compared with traditional software licensing, eLicensing generates savings on delivery times, delivery costs, distribution costs, storage space and environmental impact.
Any number of licenses can be ordered at once (i.e. 9 Core Device Licenses, 57 Universal Device Licenses…) but a separate order must be placed for each server.
Traditional licenses
Regular licenses are available in packs of either 1, 4, 16 or 32 for Core Device Licenses and packs of 1, 4, 10 or 20 for Universal Device Licenses, except for in North America (please use eLicenses instead). From AXIS Camera Station version 5.17 and above, an unlimited number of Core Device Licenses may be added to an AXIS Camera Station Server.
Type of licenses
Core Device licenses
Core Device licenses apply to Axis devices such as Axis network cameras.
Universal Device licenses
Universal Device licenses can be used for Axis devices or to add Third party device support.
Upgrades
Core Device licenses can be upgraded to Universal Device licenses thanks to an AXIS Camera Station Core to Universal Upgrade License. It is primarily used when one wants to use an existing Core Device license for a third party device. One of these licenses in combination with a standard Core license gives one Universal license.
Do NOT use this for upgrades from prior version of AXIS Camera Station. E-License article number: 0879-030. Printed license article number (Not available in North America, please use eLicenses in this region instead): 1-pack, 0879-130. 5-pack, 0879-140. 10-pack, 0879-150. 20-pack, 0879-160.
