About K2 Dyno PA licensing

K2 Dyno PA requires a ﬂoating (not node-locked) license from GrassValley. Licensing

is enforced on the GrassValley platform service, so every machine running the service

must have a valid license in place.When the GrassValley platform service is installed,

it places license request wizards on the Windows desktop, one for each type of Dyno

PA license.

Dyno PA software installs with a trial license in place.You must obtain a permanent

license from GrassValley and install it on the machine before the trial period expires.

About software licensing

Licenses are requested through the License Wizard and managed through the

SabreTooth License Manager, which is installed on the GrassValley product with the

Grass Valley software. The License Wizard and SabreTooth License Manager must

be located on the Grass Valley product.

License information is stored in text ﬁles that you can manage just like any other ﬁle

on your system. Licenses are unique to the system for which they are requested and

cannot be used on any other machine.You should back up the license text ﬁles to a

separate drive or as part of a recovery image.

Licenses are based on your system’s unique identiﬁer, which is partially derived from

your system’s Media Access Control (MAC) address. If you change your system’s

MAC address by performing operations such as changing the System Processor card,

you must obtain a new license based on the new MAC address.

Requesting a license

This topic applies to Grass Valley Sabretooth licenses. Software licenses are unique

to the system for which they are purchased.They cannot be used on any other system.

This requires that you provide a generated unique ID for the desired system to Grass

Valley, which is then used to create your unique license.

1. Log on to the device that you want to license.

You must log in as a Windows administrator with a local account, not a domain

account.

2. Open the License Request Wizard.

Find the License Request Wizard shortcut on the Windows desktop.

The License Request Wizard displays.

3. Read the on-screen instructions, then click Next.

15 October 2010 K2 Dyno Production Assistant Release Notes version 1.5 9

The Customer dialog box displays.

4. Enter the information requested on this page then click Next.

You must provide a valid email address to receive your license ﬁle.

The Sales Number dialog box displays.

5. Enter the Sales Order Number in the ﬁeld then click Next.

Typically the Sales Order Number is found on the Software License sheet that

you received with your Grass Valley product.

The Summary dialog box displays.

6. Review the License Request information and click Finish.

A License Request text ﬁle, License_Request_<SalesNumber>.txt, is generated

and saved to the Windows Desktop.

NOTE: If you are requesting licenses for more than one application, be sure

to modify the name of the ﬁrst License Request text ﬁle before saving it to

your desktop. (In Notepad, use the SaveAs command.) Otherwise, the second

License Request text ﬁle will overwrite it.

7. If you have K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server and if the write

ﬁlter is currently enabled, be aware that ﬁles on the desktop are lost on restart.

Therefore do one of the following:

•Save the License Request text ﬁle(s) to a different location.

•Keep the K2 system running (do not restart) until after you have requested the

license(s).

8. Do one of the following:

•Attach the License Request text ﬁle to an email.

•Paste the text directly into an email message.

You might want to keep a copy of the message for your records.

9. Send the email as instructed by the License Request Wizard.

An email will be sent from GrassValley to the return email address you speciﬁed;

your SabreTooth software license will be provided as a text ﬁle.

10. Save this email in case you ever need to re-image this machine.

Next add the license to the SabreTooth License Manager.
