Assign a License

In most cases, your SIP product license will correctly select and display the devices that should be licensed for monitoring. In some cases, you will need to manually assign a new device to the product license. It is assumed that you have already added the device.

If a device is managed by a management station, the management station must be added first and it will auto discover child devices and assign licenses.
