Installing iTX licenses
The modules that make up the iTX system are individually licensed and add-on
components (such as XG Inside) require their own license to function.
Licenses are stored in .lic files and require a Grass Valley license dongle to be inserted into
a USB port on the playout server.
To install the iTX license file
1 Open the iTX License folder shortcut located on the Windows desktop.
2 Place a copy of the .lic file in the Inbox shared folder of the iTX Framework Server
where the Media Watcher resides.
The license file is automatically ingested by the Media Watcher service, at which point
the file disappears from the Inbox folder.
When TXPlay 2 starts it will check that the required licenses have been installed. The status
of the licenses can be checked by running diagnostics on TXPlay 2
