CHAPTER 1: INSTALLING GVI
IMPORTANT:
Install the GVI software before inserting your eLicenser for the first time.
License Control Center
The GVI software uses a USB based eLicenser for license management. After
installation, the eLicenser must be attached to the system that is running
the GVI software. This eLicenser allows a user to install and run the GVI
software on multiple systems without requiring any further interaction
with the manufacturer by physically moving the eLicenser from system to
system.
An eLicenser must contain a GVI license to run the GVI software. Depending
on how the software and the eLicenser were acquired, the license may
be currently activated on the eLicenser or the user may be required to
download the license onto the eLicenser.
The GVI license management technology is provided by Syncrosoft
(www.syncrosoft.com), and is the same technology used by popular
workstations like Steinberg’s Cubase SX and Nuendo. Because of the
commonality of this copy protection it is possible to transfer your Syncrosoft
based licenses from one eLicenser to another. For example, if you already
have a Cubase SX eLicenser, it is possible to transfer the GVI license from
the original GVI eLicenser onto the Cubase SX eLicenser, and vice versa. This
helps reduce the number of USB devices connected to your system.
