6.1 Plug-In Activation/Deactivation Procedure
The Plug-in management procedure has been standardized for maximum flexibility as follows.
When a customer purchases a Fluidmesh Plug-in, a generic 16-digit License Code is provided.
Because the License Code is generic and not associated with any device, it needs to be activated
before it can be used on a Fluidmesh device. In order to activate a License Code, the user can access
the Fluidmesh website
4
(www.fluidmesh.com) and bind the License Code to the specific
Fluidmesh Unit ID or Fluidmesh Product Serial Number to which the Plug-in should be applied.
By doing so, the Fluidmesh website will provide the user with a specific eight digit Activation
Code that can be applied to the specific device to activate the Plug-in functionalities. The overall
process is depicted in Fig. 6.1.
Fig. 6.2 depicts the Fluidmesh Web extranet interface to generate Activation Codes available at
www.fluidmesh.com. As indicated, the purchased License Code must be bound to the unit’s unique
ID (both the unit ID and the Serial Number are accepted) in order to get the Activation Code. Please
refer to Section 7.13 to input the Activation Code into the unit Web interface.
To provide the maximum flexibility in the Plug-in management, Fluidmesh allows the deactivation
of any installed Plug-in in order to transfer it to another Fluidmesh unit. Specifically, each Plug-in
can be deactivated via the Web interface of the unit according to the procedure described in Section
7.13. A Deactivation Code is provided by the unit which can be input in the Fluidmesh Plug-in
Management Web Page on Fluidmesh Extranet to generate a fresh License Code as depicted in Fig.
6.3. The latter can then be used to generate a new Activation Code to activate the Plug-in for a
different unit.
