Licensing the module🔗

Since the module uses libraries developed by a third party and requires separate licensing, two elements are used for its licensing protection: the License Plate Recognition (Complete) module's hardware protection key and the license, bound to the Eocortex protection key.

Note

The need to use two elements of the license protection at the same time is only a technical feature: upon purchase, only one license is paid for each server, which indicates the type of module — Highway or Parking — and the number of cameras for plate recognition on this server.

The module's hardware protection key is a HASP USB dongle:

The Eocortex protection key can be either hardware or software.

The module is licensed according to the type of license, groups of recognizable countries and the number of recognition channels.

Types of license:

  • Highway: Recognition of license plates moving with the speed up to 250 kmph. Stream analysis is performed either with the actual frame rate received from the camera or according to the analysis rate specified in the settings of the software motion detector.

  • Parking: Recognition of license plates moving with the speed up to 20 kmph. Stream analysis is performed at a frequency of no more than 6 frames per second, regardless of the actual frame rate received from the camera.

Below is the list of currently supported countries:

Abhasia, Accord Dangereuses Route, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Belgium, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Grenada, Guatemala, Holy See (Vatican City State), Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Ossetia, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Plurinational State of Bolivia, Poland, Portugal, Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Republic of Moldova, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, USSR, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Zambia.

The Eocortex server that handles license plate recognition cameras must have the module's own protection key plugged in. In addition, this server must have a Eocortex license with the License Plate Recognition (Complete) module usage supported.

Warning

One Eocortex server can have only one License Plate Recognition (Complete) module protection key.

Warning

Only one speed mode can be used on the same Eocortex server at the time: Highway or Parking.

The number of cameras recognizing license plates on the server can be increased. To do this, purchase the license update for the module, update the Eocortex license on the server and then update the module protection key.

License type of the module can be changed, but only from the Parking to Highway speed mode. To do this, purchase the license update for the module and update the module protection key. It is not necessary to update Eocortex license if the number of plate recognition cameras is not changed.

In a multiserver system, the license plate recognition module can be applied to cameras connected to different Eocortex servers, with the following conditions:

  • Each server must use its own separate module protection key and installed Eocortex licenses with the appropriate number of cameras that recognize license plates.

  • All cameras in the system will use the same license plate database and archive of recognized plates.

Warning

If any other software that use HASP license protection keys is installed on the same computer with the Eocortex server, then the License Plate Recognition (Complete) module may operate unstable.
