Startup Without USB Key License
The license for EDIUS is contained on the USB key that came in the box
with the product DVD. If EDIUS is started without the USB key inserted in
a USB port on the host computer, the message shown in
Figure 2 appears.
Figure 2. No USB Key Startup Message
Insert the USB key and click OK to detect the license and use EDIUS.
Note If OK is clicked without the USB key present, the 30-day trial countdown
period begins. If you wish to transfer the license from the USB key to the PC
or to another USB key, see
License Transfer section below.
To avoid the message above, the USB key should be inserted before starting
EDIUS.
License Transfer
When EDIUS is installed on a laptop or, if you prefer not to use the USB key,
it may be desirable to transfer the license from the USB key to the laptop or
PC on which EDIUS is installed. It is also possible to transfer the license
from the USB key provided with EDIUS to another USB key. Before pro-
ceeding with any license transfer, please thoroughly read the notes and
warnings which follow.
• The license transfer tool must be initiated on the system on which
EDIUS is already installed.
• License transfer is available between USB key and PC or USB key and
USB key only. It is not possible to transfer a license from PC to PC.
• Several licenses of the same product cannot be combined on the same
USB key.
WARNING A lost USB key cannot be replaced for any reason. Keep the USB key
secure and do not lose it.
WARNING Close the license transfer tool only after the transfer is complete. If the
transfer tool is closed prior to completing the transfer, the license is irre-
trievably lost.
