The first AP Lite began to be sold with firmware 2.4.2.
AP Lite difference lies primarily in the price (almost two times lower than the full version) and the minimum soft-functional limitation. This limitation is the number of user modules (SM), which can be registered on AP.
AP Lite can register only 10-SMs but as the FULL AP supports up to 120 SMs.
AP lite can be upgraded to FULL using an upgrade key, which is bought separately.
Make sure we use the correct part numbers, below is the list of model (ePMP 1000, ePMP2000).
- ePMP 1000 GPS Sync AP License Key - Upgrade Lite (10-SM) to Full (120 SM) >> C050900S200A
- ePMP2000 AP Lite License Key – Upgrade Lite (10 SM) to Full (120 SM) >> C050900S2KLA
