Starting the K2 Dyno PA application

The K2 Dyno PA application can be started from the desktop icon or from selecting

Start | Programs

| Grass Valley| Dyno PA Client

. Multiple Dyno PA clients can access one Dyno Production Assistant

platform service.

Prerequisites:

The Dyno Production Assistant platform service starts automatically. The platform service must
be running before you start the K2 Dyno PA application.

When the Dyno PA application is first started, it runs on a 30-day trial license. To continue using
Dyno PA, you need a permanent license to run Dyno PA. For more information on licensing, see
the K2 Dyno PA Release Notes.

To start the K2 Dyno PA application, follow these steps:

1. Double-click on the Dyno PA icon.

The Dyno PA login displays. This allows you to log in to the PC that runs the Dyno Production
Assistant platform service.

2. Enter the following:

a) A username and password. If logging in as an administrator, supply the administrator username

and password as specified in the Managing Users chapter of the Configuration manual. If
logging in as a normal user, enter the username and password supplied by your administrator.

b) The name or IP address of the PC running the Dyno Production Assistant platform service.

If the platform service is running on the same machine, enter

localhost

.

3. Click the

Connect

button.

Dyno PA connects with the platform service. The License Selection dialog box displays. If you
have already purchased a permanent license, that license is displayed. For information on licensing,
see the K2 Dyno PA Release Notes.
