4 RU Frame

License EEPROMs

Kayak systems use two EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory) chips to set the licenses that determine which features
are available for use. Licensing is keyed off of the serial number for the
Kayak frame.

Note

If you have a frame and are replacing it with a new frame, the new license
stored in the EEPROM chips for the new frame is issued to the serial number
for the new frame.

Note

If you have to exchange your frame for any reason you may want to first pull
the two EEPROMs to put in your new frame. Make sure they are put in the
right position (the same position they had on the older frame).

Note

You should always keep a copy of your license text file or you may lose all
features, including Inputs, chroma keys, and DPMs. If you have lost your
license, contact Customer Service. (See Contacting Grass Valley

on page 4
