Licensing

You will need a valid license file to use SFE Toolkit or SFE Stream Processor.

Hardware ID

The hardware ID of your Edge device or PC is required to generate the valid license.

Please use the License Manager application to generate a Hardware ID for your device:

./license_manager_cli -p

You may need to install libusb-0.1-4 which is required to use License Manager on Linux x86 platforms

$ sudo apt install libusb-0.1-4

On Embedded platforms, the MAC address of the device’s network adapter is used as the hardware ID.

If you are using a docker environment, you have to use the License Manager Server edition:

$ ./bin/license_manager_server_cli -p 10

The License Manager Server application is available to download at our Customer Portal.

NOTE: If you require a license based on a different type of hardware parameter of your edge device, please contact your Innovatrics sales representative.

License generating

Use the hardware ID or MAC address (without colons) of your device to generate a license at our Customer Portal.
