DW Spectrum User Manual

Connecting a Site to an Organization will upgrade existing Professional Editions of DW Spectrum to the Enterprise Edition.

Key considerations before connecting a Site to an Organization:

1.Each recording license key will be converted into a 24-month credit for a Local Recording Service.

2.It is not possible to recover license keys once they are converted into Subscription Service credits.

3.Sites that are disconnected from an Organization will require new recording license keys.

Contact your local DW Spectrum reseller or Digital Watchdog customer service team for more information on the benefits of using Organizations.

There are two ways to connect a Site to an Organization:

•Transfer ownership of a Cloud Connected Site from a Cloud Account to an Organization.

•Connect a local Site to an Organization.

Both methods require a Site Administrator and an Organization Administrator to approve the connection.
