Soft Panel Licensing for Encore Systems
Encore system Soft Panels are activated with a license. The license is tied to
Encore System Controllers (SCBs) running the Encore system’s Panel
Servers. For example, if five licenses are purchased, up to five Soft Panels
(of any type) can be can run at a time on five different PCs connected to the
Encore system, provided Soft Panel software has been installed on the PCs.
The total number of all hardware panels plus all Soft Panels cannot exceed
127 per Encore SCB.
Soft Panels licenses are purchased through Grass Valley Sales and the keys
are issued by Grass Valley Customer Support. After purchasing your
licenses, you will need to provide the Device ID(s) of the Encore SCBs
running the Panel Server to Customer Support so they can generate the key.

SCB and select the
System Controller Description ( Figure 9 ). Write down the
Device Id number displayed on the screen.
