AXIS 02990-001 Camera Station Pro Core Device Licence 1 Year for 1 Axis Device

Product SKU: 02990-001

Product Overview

The AXIS 02990-001 Camera Station Pro Core Device Licence is a 1-year subscription licence for one Axis device used with AXIS Camera Station Pro on non-Axis server hardware or a virtual machine. It is designed for organisations and installers building AXIS Camera Station Pro systems on their own server infrastructure rather than relying on the hardware-tied licensing supplied with supported AXIS S-series recording servers. The Core Device licence applies to Axis devices, while supported third-party devices require the appropriate Universal Device licence instead. Licence management is handled through AXIS License Manager, with both automatic online licensing and manual workflows available for offline surveillance systems. This makes 02990-001 suitable for expanding or licensing an AXIS Camera Station Pro deployment one Axis device at a time while maintaining a clearly defined annual subscription term.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• AXIS Camera Station Pro on custom servers: Suitable when the VMS is running on non-Axis server hardware rather than an AXIS recording server with hardware-tied licences.
• Virtual machine deployments: Appropriate where AXIS Camera Station Pro is hosted in a supported virtual machine environment.
• Adding individual Axis devices: Useful when a system requires Core Device licensing for an additional Axis device.
• Subscription-based deployments: Suits organisations prepared to manage and renew AXIS Camera Station Pro licensing on an annual basis.

Why Choose the 02990-001

The main reason to choose 02990-001 is that it provides the correct Core Device subscription when AXIS Camera Station Pro is running on non-Axis server hardware or a virtual machine and an Axis device needs to be licensed for one year. It avoids paying for a Universal Device licence where the connected product is an Axis device, while keeping the licensing model separate from the hardware-tied licences used with supported AXIS S-series recorders. Available through Security Wholesalers, this SKU is best treated as a building block for correctly sizing an AXIS Camera Station Pro installation, with the total quantity matched to the Axis devices that require Core Device licensing.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose 02990-001 if: You need a one-year Core Device subscription for an Axis device on AXIS Camera Station Pro running on non-Axis server hardware or a virtual machine.
• Choose a Universal Device licence if: The device being added is a supported third-party product rather than an Axis device.
• Check your recorder first if: The system uses an AXIS S-series recording server, as those systems use hardware-tied licences rather than this standalone subscription model.

FAQs

1. What does AXIS 02990-001 license?
   AXIS 02990-001 is a 1-year AXIS Camera Station Pro Core Device subscription licence for one Axis device. It is intended for AXIS Camera Station Pro systems running on non-Axis server hardware or virtual machines. This is a device licence rather than a recorder, camera or physical accessory, so it should be purchased according to the number and type of devices that need to be licensed in the system.
2. Is AXIS 02990-001 a perpetual licence?
   No. AXIS 02990-001 is a 1-year subscription licence. AXIS also offers different licence arrangements for other deployment types, including hardware-tied NVR licences for supported AXIS S-series recorders. Buyers using their own server hardware or a virtual machine should plan for subscription renewal rather than treating this SKU as a lifetime licence.
3. Can AXIS 02990-001 be used for a third-party camera?
   No. 02990-001 is a Core Device licence intended for Axis devices. AXIS Camera Station Pro uses Universal Device licences for supported third-party devices. If a system contains both Axis and third-party products, check the licence requirement for each device type before ordering so the correct Core and Universal subscription licences are allocated.
4. Can I use 02990-001 with an AXIS S-series recorder?
   02990-001 is listed for AXIS Camera Station Pro installations using non-Axis server hardware or virtual machines. AXIS S-series recorders use a different hardware-tied licensing model, with Core licences included or added as recorder expansion licences. If the system is based on an AXIS S-series recorder, confirm the recorder’s existing licence allocation before purchasing a standalone subscription licence.
5. How is the AXIS Camera Station Pro licence managed?
   AXIS Camera Station Pro licences are managed through AXIS License Manager. Online systems can use automatic licensing after the system is registered and connected to an organisation, while offline systems can be licensed manually by exporting the system file and handling the licence through AXIS License Manager on a computer with internet access. This gives installers a supported path for both connected and isolated systems.
6. What happens when the 1-year AXIS Camera Station Pro licence expires?
   AXIS Camera Station Pro provides a 30-day grace period if a system’s licence period expires without renewal. During an unlicensed state, recording and action rules can continue, but important client functions such as live streams, playback, instant playback, snapshots and recording export are restricted. For an operational surveillance system, renewal should therefore be planned before the subscription term ends.
7. How many 02990-001 licences do I need?
   This SKU covers one Axis device for one year, so the required quantity should be matched to the number of Axis devices that need Core Device licensing on the AXIS Camera Station Pro server. When planning the system through Security Wholesalers, also identify any third-party devices separately because those require the appropriate Universal Device licence rather than this Core Device licence.
8. Who should choose the AXIS 02990-001 licence?
   Choose 02990-001 when you are running AXIS Camera Station Pro on non-Axis server hardware or a virtual machine and need a 1-year Core Device subscription for an Axis device. It is not the right licence type for a supported third-party camera, and it should not be confused with the hardware-tied licence model used by AXIS S-series recording servers.
