A purchased subscription can also be activated via the SNS Tool by entering your license Activation ID. There is a separate SNS Tool for Smart-UPS, Smart-UPS Ultra, 1-Phase Symmetra, Easy UPS On-Line and rack PDU devices and the correct firmware is embedded in the SNS Tool – saving you time finding the correct firmware and removing the risk of accidentally uploading incorrect firmware files to your device.

How do I activate my included Secure NMC subscription? For 1-Ph UPS and PDU devices, download the Secure NMC System (SNS) Tool. For step-by-step instructions, see Activate Network Management Card What if I purchased a subscription I don't need yet? There are many reasons why a subscription may not need to be activated immediately after purchase such as wanting the subscription to align with the future installation date of new hardware or your newly purchased UPS or PDU device includes a 1-Year Secure NMC subscription. In these cases, simply retain the Activation ID, and do not activate it until your 1-year included subscription expires. The subscription period only starts from when the subscription is activated by entering the Activation ID into the Secure NMC System (SNS) Tool. Therefore, there is no loss of licensing duration until activation by the end user, installer, or partner. If you activate your purchased subscription during the included 1-year period, it will override your 1-year included subscription.   If you have purchased a subscription, you will receive an email with a Digital Voucher code that can be redeemed in mySchneider Software Management. When redeemed, you can generate an Activation ID for your subscription and input it into the SNS Tool. For more information, please see Activate Network Management Card
