Turn your code into a licence key

Every SecureWatch licence is signed for one edge node, so we issue the key once you can tell us that node's Device/Node ID.

Where to find your Node ID

Open the node's local admin (URL in Docs → Install) and look under License — the Device/Node ID is shown there with a Copy button. It is generated on first start and is unique to that install, so activating a second node uses another seat on the same code.

An unlicensed node shows Starter — unlicensed and keeps recording: 4 cameras at 1 site.

What to do with the key

Paste it into the licence field on that same screen and click Activate. Your plan's camera and site limits unlock immediately — no restart required for the node to accept the new entitlement.

Haven't installed it yet?

Download SecureWatch and follow the install guide first — the Node ID does not exist until the edge node has started once.

Lost your code?

During interest phase, request access first — then activate with the code we send. You can also activate on the Hub directly. Still stuck? support@secure-watch.io.

Re-submitting the same code and Node ID is safe — it returns the existing key and does not consume another seat, so a double-click cannot cost you one.
