iRidi Pro Server Activation

The documentation was updated on 13.10.2023

Server activation is binding of the server to the object and the license (trial or commercial) that provides operation of the server.

Online licensing is possible only with Internet access, via iRidi Cloud. Purchase and activation of a license, as well as storage and updating of projects occurs on the cloud in integrator’s account.

An offline licensing allows to activate the license without access to the Internet and to iRidi Cloud. An offline license server stores visualization and server projects directly on the server in an encrypted form and the license is issued when you buying a server in the form of a USB key.

Online server activation

Online server activation is done in two steps:

• creating of a cloud object in the iRidi.com personal account;
• binding of a service with a cloud object.

If you want to activate the server with an offline USB key, use the instructions «Offline server activation».

Creating of a cloud object

Log in to iridi.com web-site and go to the "My projects" section.

1 Create a folder in iRidi Cloud and add the object with the pro type in it.

2 Go to the "Projects" tab and upload the Server project (*.sirpz).

3 Go to the Licenses tab and choose one of the options:

1. To activate trial mode - 60 days of continuous work. It allows you to invite end users to test projects.
2. To bind to the object commercial license:

• If you using a hardware server or a license has already been purchased, then choose it from the licenses, which have been already paid for;
• If the license is not purchased - create one and pay for it. To calculate the license price correctly upload the final versions of server and panel projects (with all necessary drivers and server tags).

More information about licenses see in Licensing Policy

Binding the server to a cloud object

The server receives the license and the project from the cloud but the developer (integrator) NOT the user must authorize on the server using the login and password on the iRidi web-site. Launch the server, open the web-interface (see the instruction for your server) and activate the server:

1. Input the login and password of the integrator account where you created the object with the server project;
2. Select the service password to access the server settings. It is 2007 by default;
3. Then you will see the list of objects and server projects from iRidi Cloud. Select a previously created project that should launch on the server and click on it to download.

If there are no server projects in the cloud at the time of authorization, you can upload them later In the server web-interface, tab Cloud, menu Projects.

Only 1 server can be binding to the object, do not upload the project from this cloud object to another server!

• Cloud services (PUSH-notifications, project download from the cloud, voice assistants, drivers requiring assignment via iridi.com) do not work;
• Remote control is not available. Panels connect to the server only in the local network;
• Up to 25 panels can be connected to a server with an offline license at the same time.

Activation of Offline License

Open the server web-interface. To activate the offline license click the Login using offline license button. If you can't see this button in the web-interface and you are sure that you bought an offline license, contact our technical support at Support@iRidi.com.

Creation of Users (Panel Accounts)

To connect a panel to the server, a panel account must be created in the server web-interface. Several panels can be authorized in one account.

To create an account, go to the Panel accounts section of the web-interface and click Add new account.

There are two possible types of accounts: integrator and end user. An End user can download visualization projects to a panel and use downloaded projects. An Integrator has the same rights and in addition can change priject settings on the system menu of i3 pro.

A panel account must have a login and password for protection against unathorized access. This login is also used to authorize in i3 pro. You can also choose a list of available projects for this account and edit it later on. An account can be deleted. When an account is deleted, all panels authorized in this account are unauthorized and projects are deleted.
