Licensing the module🔗

Since the module uses the libraries developed by a third party that require separate licensing, two engineering elements are used for its license protection: the hardware protection key of the License plate recognition (Light) module and the license bound to the Eocortex protection key.

Note

The presence of two license protection elements is just a technical particularity: only one license per server is to be paid for. The type of module (Highway or Parking) and the number of cameras for license plate recognition on the given server are indicated in the license.

The hardware protection key of the module is a USB key:

The Eocortex protection key may be a hardware or a software key.

The module is licensed according to the type of license and to the quantity of the recognition cameras. It is also required to specify the list of countries whose license plates it is planned to recognize.

Types of licenses:

  • Highway is intended for the recognition of the license plates of the vehicles travelling at the speed of up to 270 km/h.

  • Parking is designed for the recognition of the license plates of the vehicles travelling at the speed of up to 30 km/h.

List of all available countries (The license may include only a few countries from the list; therefore, for each specific license, the countries included in this license are indicated explicitly):

Azerbaijan (AZ), Armenia (AM), Belarus (BY), Belgium (BE), Bulgaria (BG), Czech Republic (CZ), Estonia (EE), Finland (FI), France (FR), Georgia (GE), Germany (DE), Great Britain (GB), Greece (GR), Hong Kong (HK), Hungary (HU), Ireland (IE), Italy (IT), Israel (IL), Kazakhstan (KZ), Kuwait (KW), Kyrgyzstan (KG), Latvia (LV), Lithuania (LT), Luxembourg (LU), Moldova (MD), Mongolia (MN), Montenegro (ME), Netherlands (NL), Poland (PL), Portugal (PT), Qatar (QA), Romania (RO), Russia (RU), South Korea (KR), Spain (ES), Sweden (SE), Tajikistan (TJ), Turkey (TR), Turkmenistan (TM), Ukraine (UA), United Arab Emirates (AE), Uzbekistan (UZ), Vietnam (VN).

For the operation of the License plate recognition (Light) module it is required that the module protection key with the activated license is inserted into the Eocortex server to which the cameras recognizing the license plates are bound. The Eocortex license with the specified support of the License plate recognition (Light) module must also be activated on the server.

One Eocortex server may have only one License plate recognition (Light) module protection key installed.

Only one of the modes (Highway or Parking) may be used on the same server.

The quantity of the cameras that recognize license plates on the server may be increased. To do it, it is required to purchase a license for the module, then, with the help of the Eocortex Configurator application, update the Eocortex license and activate the license of the module by launching the module installation software and selecting the corresponding key activation option.

The type of license may also be changed, but only from Parking to Highway. To do it, it is required to purchase a license for the module and activate the license of the module by launching the module installation software and selecting the corresponding key activation option.

In the multiserver system, it is possible to set up the license plate recognition on the cameras bound to different Eocortex servers, however:

  • It is required to use a separate module protection key on each server, and the corresponding number of cameras that perform recognition must be indicated in the Eocortex licenses;

  • The common database and the common archive of the recognized license plate numbers will be used for all cameras.

If third party software using protection keys is installed on the Eocortex server, the License plate recognition (Light) module operation on such server may be unstable.
