Soft Panel Licensing for Prelude Systems
Prelude system Soft Panels are activated with a license. The license is tied
to a network interface card (NIC) of the PC where the Soft Panel application
will run. Only one Soft Panel instance can run on each PC, but any panel
type can be selected. The total number of all hardware panels plus all Soft
Panels cannot exceed 32 per Prelude system.
Soft Panels licenses are purchased through Grass Valley Sales and the keys
are issued by Grass Valley Customer Support. After purchasing licenses,
you will need to provide Device IDs to Customer Support so they can gen-
erate the key. You need to have installed the Soft Panels application on the
PC to get the Device ID.

Section 2-Soft Panels Installation ).
2. Launch the Soft Panels application on the PC.
