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.

Stopping and starting the K2Config for Mac Daemon service

1. To start and stop the K2Config for Mac Daemon service, run scripts in the /

Applications/Grass Valley directory.

When you stop the K2Config for Mac Daemon, the service is stopped
permanently, even after the Macintosh system is restarted. Once you have stopped
the service, you must re-start it using the scripts.
