Installing NetConfig

Installing NetConfig

NetConfig can be purchased as a separate option, or it may be bundled
with individual Grass Valley product software. If bundled, refer to the soft-
ware installation instructions provided with that Grass Valley product
(typically a Software Release Note or Instruction Manual).

CAUTION After NetConfig installation, do not delete any files under the directory where

the NetConfig tool resides. This may lead to abnormal behavior of the tool.

Plug-In Licensing

Some NetConfig plug-ins for specific products employ a licensing key
mechanism. Each license key is associated with a particular PC, and sepa-
rate keys will need to be purchased for each NetConfig computer installa-
tion that will employ that plug-in. The licensing keys only apply to plug-in
functionality. The NetConfig application itself can be installed onto any
computer and its basic functionality will be fully operational.

NetConfig Versions

If you already have NetConfig installed on your computer, you can check
its version information by clicking

About

button on the NetConfig toolbar.

The NetConfig installer replaces any older version of NetConfig that may
already reside on your PC. You do not need to uninstall any older versions
first. A version checking mechanism has been implemented that prevents
overwriting newer NetConfig software with an older version.

Note

Always select the NetConfig check box when installing bundled software to
get the latest version of NetConfig, which may be required to support neces-
sary plug-ins.
