To obtain a DMP IDS plugin license, you will need a licensed Velocity 3.8.5 and a personal computer with email access so you can provide Identiv with information about your Velocity system and receive a license key.
Contact the Identiv Sales department to purchase a license for “Velocity IDS Plugin - DMP.”
They will ask you to send them an email message containing the Server ID of your Velocity Server (exchanging this information via email instead of by phone ensures receiving the license key). The Server ID is obtained from the Velocity License Manager.

Click the button after the Server ID to copy that information to the Windows Clipboard, and then paste it into an email message to Identiv so that we can create your license key. (If you do not have email access on your Velocity Server, you can paste the information into a text file and transfer it between computers using a USB drive.)
Close the Velocity License Manager.
After you receive an email containing your license key, copy all the characters between the -- License Key Start and the -- License Key End -- lines (as shown by the yellow highlighted portion of the following screen capture).
If your Velocity Server is on a different computer, paste your license key into the Windows Notepad accessory, save it as a text file, and transfer it between computers using a USB drive. Ensure that the word wrap option is turned offs indicated by the absence of a checkmark in front of the Format ▶ Word Wrap command.
Paste the complete license information into the Add / Renew License pane and click the Add / Renew button.
The “License value has been updated successfully” dialog displays.
Click OK to close this dialog and verify that the Velocity License Manager shows a new row of information about Velocity IDS Plugin-DMP.
Licensing of the Velocity IDS DMP plug-in is now completed so that you can close the Velocity License Manager.
The license key is only valid on the computer with the specified Server ID; it cannot be used on a different computer.

Graphics Viewer
The Velocity Graphics module provides a visual interface for interacting with IDS Panels, Areas, Points, and outputs. Graphics supports two different kinds of IDS Objects:
Traditional Integrated Object Library (VIO) IDS related objects (Panels, Areas, Points, and Outputs).
The new IDS Area construct which allows you to draw a representation of an IDS Area on a map to monitor the associated IDS Area’s Arm and Secure states.
VIO objects allow you to plot specific IDS objects (panels, areas, points, and outputs) to monitor and control the Velocity Alarm state as well as execute device specific commands. The Velocity Alarm state is the same state as shown in the Velocity Alarm Viewer and you may ACK and Clear Velocity alarms from VIOs just like you can from the Velocity Alarm Window.
The IDS Area construct is different, and it allows you to draw an area that covers a portion of a map to visually represent the IDS Area’s physical coverage. The IDS Area construct displays the IDS Panel Area’s internal ARM and ALARM/SECURE states which are different from the Velocity alarm state (as noted above).
