Access Control Software
Access control software turns doors, readers and controllers into a managed system, where cardholders are enrolled once, permissions are set by door and time and entries are logged. This collection holds base software and expansion licences for Kantech EntraPass, Acre SiPass integrated and ACTpro, Honeywell WIN-PAK and Paxton Net2, with integration, mobile credential and visitor licences, plus intercom and site software from Comelit, Videx and others.

Choosing Access Control Software
Choose access control software by the platform your doors already run on, then add licences for the users, doors, workstations and integrations the site needs.
Base platforms
Software is tied to its maker's controllers and readers, so start from the hardware on site. Honeywell WIN-PAK 4.9 packages such as the WPS49G manage access control, video surveillance and intrusion together; Paxton Net2 (930-010) runs on a Windows PC and organises up to 50,000 users and 1,000 doors; Kantech EntraPass has Corporate and Global editions; and Acre licenses SiPass integrated and ACTpro.
Expansion licences
Licences grow a platform once the base software is in place. EntraPass Corporate options include web user licences such as the E-COR-WEB-10 for 10 concurrent users, extra workstations such as the E-COR-WS6 and wireless lock door licences such as the E-COR-DOOR-8. The Honeywell SIGMA10K is a user expansion licence, and the Acre P24246-P2803-A1-L adds the SiPass integrated API.
Integrations and credentials
The Kantech E-COR-LDAP links EntraPass Corporate to Active Directory, the CDVI ACPR adds car plate recognition to ATRIUM, the Acre V54549-P123-A100 plugin shows SPC intrusion elements in OnGuard, and the HID Global EL-98000-EADV10 adds web-based visitor pre-registration to EasyLobby. Mobile credential licences such as the Kantech E-COR-PASS-100 and CDVI AMC25 open doors from a smartphone.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need base software before buying an expansion licence?
Yes, an expansion licence adds to a platform that is already installed. Kantech EntraPass Corporate options such as the E-COR-WS1 add one workstation to version 3.xx and higher, and Acre SiPass licences include versions for MP2.8 forward and for upgrades to MP2.8 forward. Check your platform, edition and version before you choose a licence.
Can staff use their phones instead of cards?
Yes, with a mobile credential licence. Kantech EntraPass go Pass, in the E-COR-PASS-100 and E-COR-PASS-500 licences, lets users enter secured areas with iOS, Apple Watch and Android devices, and CDVI Mobile-PASS, through the AMC25 licence, lets authorised users unlock doors with a smartphone or other smart device.
What does Paxton Net2 software manage?
It is Windows PC software that organises and reports on the users and doors of an access control system. The Paxton 930-010 handles up to 50,000 users and 1,000 doors, and Net2 Pro adds timesheet, fire alarm and intruder alarm integration, security lockdown and anti-passback. The Paxton 125-001 is an activation card that enables HID Prox 125 kHz functionality on a compatible reader, which still reads Paxton and EM tokens.
Which Honeywell WIN-PAK package do I need?
Choose by the systems you want to manage from one interface. WinPak Express (SSAWPXE) and WinPak Standard (SSAWPS) are access software packages, SSAWPPG is the WIN-PAK Pro package for Galaxy, and WIN-PAK 4.9 packages such as the WPP49G integrate access control, video surveillance and intrusion. The SIGMA10K adds users to an existing system.
Can access control software sync with Active Directory?
Yes, with an integration licence. The Kantech E-COR-LDAP and E-GLO-LDAP link EntraPass Corporate and Global to Active Directory LDAP, the Kantech E-COR-SQL card gateway connects Oracle or MS-SQL HR databases, and the Acre Data Synchronizer, 6FL7820-8AE14-1L, imports cardholder data into SiPass integrated.
What does visitor management software do?
Visitor management software registers visitors and issues their passes, so a site knows who is on the premises and who they are visiting. The HID Global EL-98000-EADV10 lets authorised staff pre-register visitors online before they arrive, and the TDSi 4420-3066 adds visitor check-in and pass issue to GARDiS Pro access control. The Acre S54508-P102-A100-L web licence manages cardholders, visitors and venues in SiPass integrated from a browser.
Can access control software record staff hours?
Yes, with a time and attendance module. The Genie UNIWORK module adds shift-based time and attendance to UNIS access control software and shares its database, using a USB dongle, and the Acre 6FL7820-8AE22-1E licenses ASE5300-TR time recording export for advanced time handling of employees in SiPass integrated.
Can access control software work with CCTV?
Yes, through video licences on several platforms. Kantech INTEVO camera channel licences such as the INTEVO-IPCAM08 add IP cameras to a platform that combines access control, IP video and intrusion, the Kantech E-COR-VVM adds an EntraPass Video Vault, and the Acre P24246-P2804-A1-E DVR API brings a generic DVR into SiPass integrated.
What are Comelit 1456B licences for?
They license the Comelit door entry monitor software on a ViP system, adding master, slave or phone licences as the system grows. The 1456B/S10 holds 10 slave licences on a USB device, the 1456B/ME10 holds 10 master licences, and the 1456B/T10 adds 10 licences to manage phones. The 1456B/ME1 is a single master licence supplied by email.
