How many licenses do I need?

Information regarding AXIS Camera station 4.

From AXIS Camera Station 5.0, each Axis device requires one AXIS Camera Station Core Device license. For third party cameras, one Universal Device license is required for each IP address. Some Axis network cameras contain more than one image sensor, they only require one device license.

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.

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.
