3.14 Managing Your Licenses
The output QAM-RF channels of the NSG 9000-6G device are license dependent. All
licenses are per QAM port and the available licenses are as follows:
• Temporary All License - all of the QAM-RF channels are operating. This license is time
limited. It can be limited as follows:
14 days - default license. Once you purchase the device and as soon as the device
starts working it works for 14 days with all of its capabilities. This grace period of 14
days allows you to activate your licenses to guarantee device operation according to
its licensed functions.
90 day - usually for trial or demo purposes
30 day - usually for trial or demo purposes
• Narrowcast QAM License -(Default Module License for 4 QAM). When you purchase a
QAM-RF module, you also receive a license for two QAM channels per QAM-RF port. To
operate additional QAM channels of the module, you need to purchase additional QAM
licenses.
• PM Scrambling License - allows you to output TSs scrambled in the Privacy Mode
encryption technology of Motorola.
• DVB Scrambling License - allows to output TSs via the licensed QAM using DVB
scrambling.
• DOCSIS QAM - allows to output DOCSIS data via the licensed QAM.
