61 Upon the first boot of a newly installed RangeeOS (also TCMS), various device data will be requested:
62
63 * Unit Type
64 * Serial number
65
66 These data can be freely chosen and do not have any license-related background. They can be read later via the TCMS Kommbox.
67
68 After entering the data, TCMS automatically attempts to retrieve a license and then shuts down automatically. The installation is now complete.
