Merging Licenses

www.grassvalley.com

With EDIUS, there are additional licenses you can buy, such

as VTR Emulation, GXF Exporter, etc. that will come with

their own USB License Key. The EdiusLM.exe tool allows

you to merge the licenses on to one USB License Key to

keep the amount of USB slots required to a minimum.

The EdiusLM.exe tool has a tab called “USB to USB” where

the process takes place. Please follow the steps below to

achieve this:

(In this example, I will transfer a ProCoder 3 License)

1. Insert the additional USB License Key into the PC

2. Double Click EdiusLM.exe icon

3. Select the “USB to USB” tab

4. Select the license you want to move from the USB

column

5. Select the arrow pointing to the right (top arrow)

6. This will transfer the license to the License List column

7. The license will transfer, during this process both screens

will gray out

8. Remove the additional USB License Key while EdiusLM.

exe is open

to have the additional license installed

10. Your additional license will no longer be greyed out so

you can transfer it

11. Select the license from the License List column

12. Select the arrow pointing to the left (bottom arrow)

13. The license will transfer, during this process both

screens will gray out

14. This process is now complete. You can close the EdiusLM.exe tool

Important Notes:

If your EDIUS USB License Key is damaged, you will loose your additional license. Please make note and advise any support•

teams about what licenses are on your USB License Key. We strongly recommend taking a print screen of the license list you

have.

In my example, you will see I have transferred ProCoder 3 license, this is only possible with ProCoder 3 as earlier versions of•

ProCoder use a different type of USB License Key.

You can use this process to merge EDIUS license versions so you have one USB License Key for all your EDIUS 4, 5, and 6•

licenses, but this may not be supported if damaged.

Troubleshooting

www.grassvalley.com

When the EDIUS USB License key is inserted and the EdiusLM.

exe tool is blank, it means the key may have become corrupted.

Please check the version of EdiusLM.exe you are using, if this is

an older version than the one found on your EDIUS Install DVD, it

will not show the latest licenses.

When the license appears greyed out on the USB section, it

means the license has been transferred. The transferred license

should show in the PC side, if it does not please check on any

other PCs you have EDIUS installed on in case it has been con-

nected to the wrong system. Also check the “USB to USB” tab in

case the license has been transferred to the License List.

Please make sure that you have registered your EDIUS software with the full installation serial number and

make sure all your details are up to date.
