About the GV Helper Tool
When you install K2 FCP Connect on your Macintosh system, the GV Helper Tool
is also installed. You can open the GV Helper Tool from the Applications\Grass
Valley directory. This utility provides features for maintaining K2 FCP Connect
operations on the Macintosh system, as follows:
• Check license in/out to manage licensing on multiple Final Cut Pro Macintosh
systems.
• Controls for stopping and starting the K2Config for Mac Daemon
• Access to logs
Managing K2 FCP Connect licenses
You can drop the K2 FCP Connect license for a Final Cut Pro Macintosh system, and
then later pick that license up again.
1. Open the GV Helper Tool.
2. Click the Licensing Servers tab.
3. For CIFS mount access, to drop the license currently used by the local Macintosh
system to allow the iSCSI client connection to the K2 SAN, click Checkin License
4. For CIFS mount access, to assign an unused license to the local Macintosh system
to allow it to make an iSCSI client connection to the K2 SAN, click Checkout
License
5. You can also change the licensing server, which is the machine to which the
Macintosh system looks to get its license, however take the following into
consideration:
You can change the licensing server in K2Config as well as here in the GV Helper
Tool.
Therefore it is recommended that you use K2Config, rather than the GV Helper
Tool, to change the licensing server.
