Milestone XProtect Express+ Base License

XProtect Express+ Base License (Milestone part number XPEXPLUSBL) is the server licence that activates XProtect Express+, the entry-level paid XProtect edition for a single small site. One base licence is required per XProtect system; you then add one XProtect Express+ Device License (XPEXPLUSDL) for every camera, encoder or other IP device you connect. Licences are perpetual and include the first year of Milestone Care Plus.

Who XProtect Express+ is for

XProtect Express+ suits small, single-site businesses such as retail stores, restaurants, small offices, clinics, parking lots and warehouses that need a proper VMS with alarm management, but only one recording server.

How XProtect licensing works

1. One base licence per system (XPEXPLUSBL, this product) activates the management server and the edition’s feature set.
2. One device licence per IP device (XPEXPLUSDL) for each camera, encoder, NVR channel, audio device or I/O module on the Milestone supported device list. A multi-sensor camera on the list still counts as one device.
3. Add-on licences such as XProtect LPR, XProtect Access, XProtect Transact and Rapid REVIEW extend the platform.
4. Milestone Care Plus (first year included) keeps the system eligible for the three annual XProtect releases and trade-in upgrades.

This is an electronic licence. Nothing ships: the licence is issued against your Milestone software licence code (SLC) and activated in the Management Client. Perpetual XProtect licences include the first year of Milestone Care Plus; keeping Care Plus current gives you version upgrades and full trade-in value when you move to a higher edition.
