Managing Licenses
102
If a facility is using a mix of legacy licenses and current licenses, the Interplay Engine first looks
for an appropriate legacy license. If none are available, it looks for an appropriate current license.
For example:
1. An Assist client logs on. The Interplay Engine looks for an Assist license (KEY-XL)
2. If it does not find one available, it looks for a Base license (KEY-J).
3. If it does not find one available, it looks for an Advance license (KEY-G)
If a facility is using only legacy licenses, Interplay Engine v2.7.0.2 and later manages licenses in
the same way that it did before v2.7.0.2. One client license can apply to multiple applications on
a client workstation. For example, if you have an editing application running, no additional
license is needed to run Access at the same time:
• If you start the Avid editing application first, KEY-XE is assigned. If you then start Interplay
Access, KEY-XE covers use of Interplay Access on the same machine.
• If you start Interplay Access first, KEY-X is assigned. If you then start the editing
application, KEY-X is released and KEY-XE is used instead.
Exporting a License
You might need to export your license information for support purposes.
n
Export functionality is intended for Avid support purposes. You might not be able to reimport an
exported license.
To export your license to a file:
1. Click the Export license button in the Licenses view.
2. Type or browse to a .nxn file name.
3. Select Save.
Troubleshooting Licensing Problems
If you previously attached one application key (dongle) on an Interplay Engine system and
loaded the registration file for that dongle, and then attach a different dongle and try to load a
new registration file, the registration file will not load. You need to delete the Windows registry
key for the dongle.
To delete the registry key for a dongle:
1. Click Start, then click Run.
2. In the Open text box, type
regedit
and click OK.
The Registry Editor view opens.
