Trial or demo license
When DSS 4.91 is installed for the first time, the software is fully functional in trial mode, supporting
50 devices for 60 days. The License section of the DSS Configuration Utility displays a “Trial License”
message and the time remaining in the trial period. The trial license period cannot be extended. Once
the trial license expires, customers must install a valid license to continue using DSS.
Upgrading from previous products
Licenses from DSS 3.0 and earlier revisions of DSS 4.x are fully functional in DSS 4.91. For DSS 3.0
it is required to manually enter each license key into the General tab in the Configuration Utility. For
earlier revisions of DSS 4.x the licenses are carried over through the backup/restore feature.
