Product SKU: 02246-001
Product Overview
Managing audio across dozens of IP speakers, endpoints and zones from separate interfaces quickly becomes unworkable at scale. The AXIS Audio Manager Center 1 Year License (02246-001) is an annual software licence that activates the full feature set of the AXIS Audio Manager Center platform, giving audio system administrators a single interface for centralised control across an entire network of connected devices. Featuring multi-zone configuration, scheduled playback, volume management and event-triggered announcements, it is designed for professional deployments where coordinated audio delivery across multiple areas is operationally critical. It supports retail centres, transport hubs, education campuses and corporate facilities where consistent, timely and well-organised audio communication is a daily requirement. The licence runs for 12 months from activation, and renewing annually ensures continued access to platform updates as the deployment grows.
Key Capabilities
Centralised Audio Control
All network audio devices and configurations are managed from a single interface. This removes the need for separate per-device controls and allows administrators to oversee large audio deployments efficiently from one location.
Multi-Zone Configuration
Audio endpoints can be segmented into logical zones, allowing targeted content distribution across large or complex facilities. Different floors, departments or buildings can receive different audio content simultaneously without interference.
Scheduled and Event-Triggered Playback
Messages, music and alerts can be scheduled for automatic playback at defined times or triggered by specific events. This supports automated communication workflows without requiring manual intervention at each broadcast time.
Scalable Network Audio Platform
The platform is built to expand alongside growing audio networks. Additional speakers and endpoints can be brought under management without requiring per-device licences, making it cost-practical for large or growing installations.
Best For
- Large-Scale Retail Environments: Coordinate background music, promotional announcements and zone-specific messaging across multiple floors, precincts or store locations using scheduled and targeted playback.
- Transport and Transit Facilities: Deliver real-time alerts, platform announcements and schedule updates across terminals, concourses and waiting areas where timely audio communication is operationally essential.
- Education Campuses: Automate class bells, emergency alerts and campus-wide messages with calendar-based scheduling and multi-zone control across buildings and outdoor areas.
- Corporate and Institutional Facilities: Manage ambient sound, public address and floor-level announcements across multi-building campuses from a centralised administrative console.
Why Choose the AXIS Audio Manager Center 1 Year License
The AXIS Audio Manager Center 1 Year License (02246-001) activates enterprise-grade audio management capabilities that are not available through basic device-level configuration alone. Rather than managing each speaker or audio endpoint individually, administrators gain a unified platform with zone segmentation, scheduled broadcasting, volume control and event-driven automation across the entire network. This is particularly practical for operators running audio across campuses, multi-floor retail centres or transport hubs where manual per-device management is simply not workable. The annual licence model also ensures continued access to platform updates and new features as Axis refines the software. Available at Security Wholesalers, this licence suits audio system integrators and facility managers who need structured, repeatable control over how and when audio is delivered across complex sites.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This licence activates the AXIS Audio Manager Center platform and is required for ongoing access to its full feature set. If your deployment uses Axis IP speakers or audio devices across multiple zones or locations, confirm how many sites or devices you are managing before purchasing, as the licence is structured as an annual subscription rather than a permanent activation. Renewal before expiry ensures uninterrupted access to scheduling, zone control and content management features across your audio network.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Centres and Shopping Precincts
Multi-zone scheduling allows different areas, such as food courts, entry points and individual tenancies, to receive targeted audio content. Scheduled playback automates promotional messaging and background music without manual broadcasting.
Airport and Rail Terminals
The platform supports real-time announcements and event-triggered alerts across gates, platforms and concourses. Centralised control allows operators to push urgent audio messages to specific zones instantly.
Schools and University Campuses
Calendar-based scheduling handles class bells, recess alerts and campus-wide announcements automatically. Zone control ensures messages reach the right buildings without broadcasting unnecessarily across the entire campus.
Corporate and Mixed-Use Facilities
Administrators can manage ambient sound, floor-specific announcements and emergency audio from a single console. The scalable platform accommodates growing facilities as more devices are added to the network over time.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this licence if: You are deploying or managing multiple Axis IP audio devices across more than one zone or location and need centralised scheduling, zone segmentation and content control from a single platform.
- Choose a different option if: Your audio deployment is limited to a single standalone speaker or a small number of devices that do not require centralised management, automated scheduling or multi-zone targeting, as the platform overhead may not be justified at that scale.
FAQs
- What exactly does the 02246-001 licence activate?
This 12-month licence activates the full feature set of the AXIS Audio Manager Center platform, including centralised device management, multi-zone audio configuration, scheduled and event-triggered playback, and global or per-zone volume control across all connected network audio devices.
- How long does the licence last, and what happens when it expires?
The licence is valid for 12 months from activation. When it expires, access to the full AXIS Audio Manager Center feature set will be restricted until the licence is renewed. Renewing before expiry ensures there is no interruption to scheduled audio operations or centralised control.
- Does this licence require a separate hardware appliance to run?
The licence is for the AXIS Audio Manager Center software platform. Refer to Axis Communications documentation for confirmed server or hardware requirements for your specific deployment size, as these may vary depending on the number of devices and zones being managed.
- Is there a per-device fee in addition to this licence?
Based on confirmed product data, the AXIS Audio Manager Center platform is designed to support expanding audio networks without requiring per-device licence fees. The annual licence covers management of the platform itself rather than being charged on a per-speaker or per-endpoint basis.
- Can scheduled announcements be set up to play automatically at specific times?
Yes. The platform supports both calendar-based scheduling and event-triggered playback, meaning audio content such as announcements, music or alerts can be set to broadcast automatically at defined times or in response to specific system events, without requiring manual activation at each scheduled time.
