Licensing the dashboard
Online activation
The 7FiveFive NAS dashboard comes as part of the 7FiveFive support package, allowing administrators to control and tweak elements of their system with ease. The dashboard is normally licensed when the system is installed, however, there may be occasions when this licence needs replacing. For example, when extending a support contract.
