Chapter 11-11.1 Product composition1.1.1 Product configuration 0010-4820Using this kit, you can get a license key from the License Management System (LMS) and register it in aniR/imageRUNNER to activate the specific feature included in the System Software.Note:What's LMS?A license server system to activate software options of iRs/imageRUNNERs, provided by Canon Inc. Col-lectively manages options in the form of licenses and protects copy rights of optional products. The op-tions are activated with license keys being different from conventional activation measures that usedongles and PCs. Whereas the details of its management differ among countries and regions, it is designedassuming the users access it and activate licenses by themselves respectively. Per optional product, thelicense access number certificate sheet is supplied. Per license access number, a user can get a license keyand activate the feature on an iR/imageRUNNER. To get a license key, a user accesses the Web server ofthe LMS.URL for LMS:http://www.canon.com/lms/ir/When a user enters the license access number and the serial number for an iR/imageRUNNER in the LMS,24-digit figure of a license key is generated. The license key includes the information of serial number forthe iR/imageRUNNER so that the key cannot be used for iRs/imageRUNNERs. Once the option is acti-vated, the option information is saved as the backup in the iR/imageRUNNER. Parts replacement will notdeactivate the feature.The staff in each regional headquarters can access the administrator's pages of the LMS. They can viewthe license number issued for each iR/imageRUNNER and can reissue the license. The procedures are thesame as the license management system for MEAP except for the point the license key is used instead ofthe license file.Transfer of a LicenseAn optional function that has been enabled by the LMS may be used on a different device by transferringits license, as when the original iR device needs to be replaced, say at the end of its lease arrangement.Specifically, individual licenses registered for optional functions must first be invalidated in AddtionalFunctions before transfer may take place. Doing so will invalidate the optional functions on the source iRdevice and, at the same time, proof of invalidation will be generated within the device in the form of aninvalidation license key. The user may then communicate the indicated invalidation license key, the serialnumber of the original iR device, and the serial number of the new iR device to the Sales Company, whichin turn may issue a new license key for the new iR device. The user now may register the new license keyto the new iR device in Addtional Functions, thereby enabling the optional function on the new iR device.For details of transferring a license in service mode, see the descriptions of service mode that come later.
