ACTi LCMS2000 CMS Software License
Overview
The ACTi LCMS2000 is a software license module for ACTi CMS 2, the centralized video management platform used to oversee multi-site ACTi NVR deployments from a single console. Rather than a physical device, LCMS2000 unlocks management of an unlimited number of NVR servers under one CMS instance and raises live/playback capacity to 64 channels with eMap support. This fits installations that have outgrown single-NVR local management — multi-building campuses, retail chains, or any site running several ACTi NVRs that need one operator view for live monitoring, recorded playback, and site-map-based camera navigation instead of switching between individual NVR web interfaces.
Compatibility
LCMS2000 is licensed for use with ACTi CMS 2 software specifically — confirm your CMS installation is on the CMS 2 platform before purchase, since license keys are version-locked and will not activate against CMS 3 or CMS 4 builds. It is designed to sit alongside ACTi's NVR line within a CMS-managed architecture, extending server-count and channel limits rather than adding camera-side functionality. If you're standardizing a multi-site deployment, pair this license tier with your network video recorders and confirm firmware/CMS version alignment across every NVR before rollout.
Installation Notes
As a license module, deployment is activation-based rather than physical mounting or wiring — apply the license key within the ACTi CMS 2 console against an existing installation. Because it governs server and channel counts at the software layer, plan your PoE switch and NVR topology first so the licensed capacity (unlimited NVR servers, 64-channel playback) matches your actual site count before committing to the purchase. Review ACTi's VMS architecture guide if you're scoping a multi-NVR CMS 2 deployment for the first time, and check the ACTi product line for NVR models already validated against CMS 2 before finalizing server count.
