Pro-Watch Software Keys
Overview

1.1 Overview
Pro-Watch Software Keys is the new secure licensing system that
replaces the dongle for Honeywell’s Pro-Watch family of security
access products.
Software Keys application:
• Reads the License information from the Server.
• Displays the grace period and thus lets the user know when Pro-
Watch has to be licensed to remain operational.

1.2 Quick Start


1.2.1 Two Options to Install a License Certificate
You have two options to install a Pro-Watch license:
1. Regular License. This is generated by the Software Keys Voucher
Manager.
2. Default Demo License. This is a one-time-only demo license that’s
shipped with Pro-Watch and is good for 30 days. It is the easiest and
preferred method to try out Pro-Watch with limited functionalities.
Each option is explained below.

Cut-over/Migration Licenses

1.7 Cut-over/Migration Licenses


1.7.1 Definition
A Cut-over/Migration License is a special situation license that is
created by the Honeywell License team to accommodate certain
high-availability sites that, for various reasons, would need to
migrate their Pro-Watch server over an extended period as opposed
to using the normal transfer method. See How to Transfer the
License to Another Machine, page 15.

1.7.2 Examples
What kind of situations demand a cut-over license?
Situations that might require a cut-over license would include sites
that must remain up and live due to regulations in their particular
industry. Examples would be Banking, Utility industry sites,
Government sites and large corporations.
Also any larger or at-risk site that is making a significant upgrade in
their Pro-Watch system may want to keep their current system Live,
while being able to setup and test their new hardware and any
upgrades that accompany that new server.

1.7.3 Why needed?


Why is the cut-over license needed?
For any site, the Pro-Watch License they have legally entitles that
site to run one (1) server with that license concurrently.
If a site were to try to copy or clone that server into a migration where
they intend to run both the old and the new for any real length of
time, they would be violating the Software License Agreement, and
thus could put themselves at legal and financial risk.
In addition, the cut-over license allows for the registration and
License history of a site to remain intact through the whole process
and beyond. This reduces the amount of time needed to
accommodate what can be a longer process, saving on-site time
while still satisfying all the legal requirements involved.

1.7.4 How Does It Work?


For a site that feels that they need this kind of an option there are
some basic guidelines and steps that need to be followed.
1. Contact the sales person for your account and or Honeywell's
customer service team so that they can start the process on

18 www.honeywell.com
Pro-Watch Software Keys
Cut-over/Migration Licenses

Honeywell's end. Waiting to do it until you are ready to start and or


on-site means you are now at the mercy of just how busy the license
team is at that given point in time. Calling a day or two in advance on
the request can save you a lot of time.
2. Cut-over licenses are valid for a maximum of 90 days. If you are
planning to add to the site’s license package features or additional
items, AND you require them to be on the old server as well as the
server you are migrating to, then get those ordered before you start
this process. Once the cut-over period starts, the License on the old/
current server is considered to be “Locked” and no changes can be
made to it. All changes would be made to the license that will be
active on the new server that is being migrated to.
3. When the cut-over license is ready for activation, a copy of the
voucher would be sent to the dealer. The on-site installer or
technician would send that voucher number in with a fresh HID file
from the new server that is being cut-over/ migrated to. The request
should be sent to [email protected] One of our
Voucher Managers will process the request and send back the cert
file for the cut-over license.
4. Dealer/ installer installs that license cert file just like any other Pro-
Watch New license install. See How to Install a Regular License, page
4.
5. CRITICAL ITEMS: Once the site is satisfied with their new server
setup, and are ready to convert their cut-over license to a permanent
one and complete the migration, they will need to supply 2 key
things BEFORE the 90 days Cut-over license expires.
a. The TERM (termination) file from the old server. This allows
Honeywell to Log that in fact that server is no longer active and
thus removes a Red Flag for potential software audit.
b. A Current/ freshly generated HID file from the new server
that is running the cut-over license. The Dealer/ Installer DOES
NOT terminate the cut-over license. This is simply a freshly
generated HID that will be needed for the Voucher Manager to
convert that 90 day limited life License into a permanent one.
The license server will check the security Data on the HID file to
make sure it's the same and is able to supersede it.
6. The Dealer/ Installer sends the Term file and the HID file along with
the Cut-over Licenser Voucher Number to
[email protected] They should include a brief note
stating “Ready to Convert cut-over to permanent” or a similar
message.
7. The Voucher Manager team will email back with a New Voucher
Number (PDF) and the cert file that when applied will supersede the
installed cut-over license and covert it to a Permanent one. Standard

Other Things You Should Know

1.8 Other Things You Should Know


1.8.1 License Troubleshooting Help:
If you run into problems or issues with licensing for Pro-Watch you
can email a request to the below address
[email protected]
This is a staffed email box for the voucher manager during our
regular business hours (9am-5:30pm CDT).

1.8.2 How License is Checked


When you start the Pro-Watch Client, a timer also starts and checks
the expiration date [date of expiry + grace Period (in case any)] in
every two hours within the last 24 hours of the grace period.
If the system confirms that the Date has expired, it notifies the end
user. After the user clicks OK, the Client is shut down.

1.8.3 Date Tampering Tolerance


The Pro-Watch Software Keys application will accommodate date
tampering for 50 hours so that the user can install the application on
a server from a different time zone and location. That 50-hour
tolerance will prevent a system shutdown during such critical
installation periods.
The users cannot re-configure and change the date-tampering
tolerance setting.

1.8.4 License Violation


Under the conditions listed below the license will be violated; as a
result, your system will stop working:
• Changing system date/time beyond tolerance. (Consult your
engineering team to confirm the current tolerances.)
• Changing the following item:
– Hard Disk Serial Number
Trying to use the same voucher following a system crash. Once a
voucher is used, if the machine crashes, you will need to request a
replacement voucher from the Software Keys Voucher Manager.

FAQ

1.9 FAQ
Q: What happens if I uninstall the application software without first
terminating the license and then re-install it on the same machine?
A: If you uninstall the application without first terminating the license,
the application will work when you reinstall it on the same machine.
There is no need to reinstall the license certificate once again.
Q: What happens if I uninstall the application software from one
machine without first terminating the license and then re-install it on
a different machine?
A: (i) You must reinstall the application on the same machine (where it
was uninstalled from initially). (ii) You must then terminate the license
and save the termination certificate file created in a different location. (iii)
Only then you should uninstall the application.
Q: What happens when the machine on which the Pro-Watch
application is installed crashes but I want to transfer the certification
license to a different machine?
A: If the machine on which the Pro-Watch application is installed crashes
and there is no way to create the termination certificate file, contact
Software Keys Voucher Manager to request a new voucher number.
Then, apply the license per directions provided in STEP 1: The User
Contacts Pro-Watch Inside Sales Dept., page 4 above.
