Before you install XProtect VMS on a FIPS enabled system
While new XProtect VMS installations can be done on computers that are FIPS-enabled, you cannot upgrade
XProtect VMS when FIPS is enabled on the Windows operating system.
If you are upgrading, before you install, disable the Windows FIPS security policy on all of the computers that
are part of the VMS, including the computer that hosts the SQL server.
The XProtect VMS installer checks the FIPS security policy and will prevent the installation from starting if FIPS
is enabled.
But, if you are upgrading from XProtect VMS version 2020 R3 and after, you do not need to disable FIPS.
After you have installed the XProtect VMS components on all of the computers and prepared the system for
FIPS, you can enable the FIPS security policy on Windows on all of the computers in your VMS.
For detailed information on how to configure your XProtect VMS to run in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode, see the
FIPS 140-2 compliance section in the hardening guide.
Register Software License Code
Before you install, you must have the name and location of the software license file that you received from
Milestone.
You can install a free version of XProtect Essential+. This version provides you with limited capabilities of the
XProtect VMS for a limited number of cameras. You must have internet connection to install XProtect
Essential+.
The Software License Code (SLC) is printed on your order confirmation and the software license file is named
after your SLC.
Milestone recommends that you register your SLC on our website (https://online.milestonesys.com/) before
installation. Your reseller may have done that for you.
Device drivers (explained)
Your system uses video device drivers to control and communicate with the camera devices connected to a
recording server. You must install device drivers on each recording server on your system.
From the 2018 R1 release, the device drivers are split into two device packs: the regular device pack with newer
drivers and a legacy device pack with older drivers.
The regular device pack is installed automatically when you install the recording server. Later, you can update
the drivers by downloading and installing a newer version of the device pack. Milestone releases new versions
of device drivers regularly and makes them available on the download page
(https://www.milestonesys.com/downloads/) on our website as device packs. When you update a device pack,
you can install the latest version on top of any version you may have installed.
