License Key

Components of UVAP are protected against illegal access. There are two way to licence our products:

• offline: to access the components, the collection of some information is necessary. UVAP can be used in completely offline environment.
• online: floating licensing. Reliable network connection is necessary, but hardware information does not have to be collected.

Note: To gather the necessary information for licensing, make sure the Docker environment is up and running. For more information, see Adding Docker Environment

Offline Licensing

Collect Information

To gather the information needed for the access:

1. Collect the hardware information for license generation:

   $ cd "$UVAP_HOME"
   $ scripts/licence_data_collector.sh > ~/uvap_licence_data.txt
   

   Verify completion. Resulting file should look similar to the following

   $ cat ~/uvap_licence_data.txt
   Licence Version=2
   Hardware ID=GPU-bb91c626-cb5e-41f0-ab10-0a335fc87a35
   

2. Save ~/uvap_licence_data.txt file, as it is needed at a later step during the installation.

3. To access the docker images of UVAP, a Docker account is required. Create one on Docker Hub.

   Attention! The password of the Docker account is stored on the computer in a plain-text format, so it is recommended to choose a strong auto-generated password that is not used anywhere else.

4. Log in to the Docker account:

   $ docker login
   

Request Access to Licensed Resources

To request and get access to licensed resources:

1. Send an email to support@ultinous.com with the following details:

   • Subject of email: UVAP - Requesting access to licensed resources
   • The Docker Hub account ID, created previously
   • The hardware information, which can be found in the file ~/uvap_licence_data.txt

   Based on the information above, you will receive the following:

   • The license text and key
   • Access to the UVAP Docker repository ultinous/uvap
   • A download URL for AI resources

2. Save the license text as "${UVAP_HOME}/license/license.txt" and the license key as "${UVAP_HOME}/license/license.key".

3. The license is provided within the following two files:

   • license.txt:

     Product Name    = UVAP Multi Graph Runner
     Hardware ID     = <value from licence_data_collector>
     Expiration Date = 2022-01-01
     Customer        = Demo User
     Licence Version = 2
     

   • license.key contains no human readable key data.

   Note: Without the license files, the installation process can be continued until the UVAP usage.

$ mkdir -p "${UVAP_HOME}/models"
$ cd "${UVAP_HOME}/models"
$ wget -O - "[DOWNLOAD_URL]" | tar xzf -

The steps above are not meant to have a working environment yet, only intended to quickly check that the access to all requested resources is granted.
