Introduction

Each camera must be bound to an active license to manage and configure them through VMS Cloud Standard. Ensure you have purchased the necessary licenses before proceeding with device binding.

Check License Status

When purchasing licenses, if you provide a TP-Link ID, the licenses will be bound to your TP-Link ID. You can view them by following the steps below.

If you choose not to provide a TP-Link ID during purchase, you will receive an activation code instead. Please refer to Import activation code in organizations to activate the licenses using the activation code.

Step 1. Visit https://vms.tplinkcloud.com and log in with your TP-Link ID.

Step 2. Go to Licenses.

Step 3. You can check your license status on the license list. And tap on Clear Expired Licenses to clear all the expired licenses in the list.

Assign licenses to Organization

Step 1. Visit https://vms.tplinkcloud.com and log in with your TP-Link ID.

Step 2. Go to Licenses.

Click Assign to Organization in the upper right corner.

Step 3. Select the organization, check your remaining licenses, and specify the quantity of licenses to assign. Click Confirm, the licenses will be assigned to the selected organization.

Assign and unbind Licenses to VIGI Devices

Manually assign Licenses to devices

Step 1. Visit https://vms.tplinkcloud.com and log in with your TP-Link ID, and enter your organization.

Step 2. After adding a device (refer to How to add VIGI devices on VIGI Cloud VMS ), you will see that the device is in the Unactivated status. Click the Settings icon.

Step 3. You will be redirected to the License Binding page. Select the license you want to bind and click Apply.

Automatically assign Licenses to devices

Step 1. Visit https://vms.tplinkcloud.com and log in with your TP-Link ID, and enter your organization.

Step 2. Go to the License page. Enable Auto-Active, and enable Auto-Rollover for site.

Auto-Active: Auto-Active will automatically apply a device license to a device as soon as your organization adopts it.

Auto-Rollover: If this option is enabled for a site, the organization will automatically reassign new licenses to active devices on the site when their existing licenses expire.

Unbind license from devices

Step 1. Click Settings icon of an activated device to open the settings page.

Step 2. In the License section, click Unbind. The license will be unbound and can be bound to another device if needed.

Note:

- When the Reassignment Times Remaining is 0, the license cannot be bound to other devices except the current one.

- Reassignment Times are calculated according to the license year multiplied by 10. If the license duration is 1 year, the Reassignment Times after the device is activated are 10.
