Nx Witness User Manual

Connecting a System to an Organization will upgrade HD Witness to support Subscription Services.

Key considerations before connecting a System to an Organization:

1.Each recording license key will be converted into a 24-month credit for a Local Recording Service.

2.It is not possible to recover license keys once they are converted into Subscription Service credits.

3.Systems that are disconnected from an Organization will require new recording license keys.

Contact your local Nx Witness reseller or Network Optix customer service team for more information on the benefits of using Organizations.

There are two ways to connect a System to an Organization:

•Transfer ownership of a Cloud Connected system from a Cloud Account to an Organization.

•Connect a local System to an Organization.

Both methods require a System Administrator and an Organization Administrator to complete the transfer.
