How can I transfer online license from one computer to another? Can I do this forever?

Commercial Edition / Enterprise Edition

If your license status is still online, then you don't need to do anything in particular to transfer a online license from one computer to another, aside from waiting for a cool-down time for 24 hours before being able to install the license again. (However, if your license is committed to offline license, then we're afraid it's not transferrable).

And no, you shouldn't do this forever. Online license is meant to be a provisional measure, only to make sure your hardware is good for long-hour operation.

Genius Vision takes no responsibility of server availability aside from activating license for the first time. You should commit the license to your hardware and make it an offline license, as soon as you confirmed the hardware is good for NVR operation. Generally speaking, we will not keep online license record for longer than 12 months.

Another option is that you need to pay License Replenish Fees.

As a security measure, you shouldn't allow a formal security system to rely on an external server in order to operate normally. Read more at See also below.
