- Managing Licenses
In your request, be sure to include the serial number of your compact flash card and the current
number of licenses you have for that particular system. Imagine Communications will issue a new
license key that will accommodate the total number of licenses for that system. For example, if you
currently have a 4-Mux license (160 Mbps) for a single BNP and you are ordering two more licenses for
this system, Imagine Communications will issue a new license key for 6 Muxes (240 Mbps). If
purchasing licenses for multiple systems, you will need to indicate how many licenses per system with
the serial number of the compact flash of each system clearly indicated. Imagine Communications will
then issue separate license keys for each system.
