Managing Licenses

- Days Remaining: The number of days until expiration of a time-limited license.
Interplay licenses are usually not time limited, so in most cases the value for a
license type is “0.” Only one value for the days remaining is stored for each license
type.
- The Server Information section displays information about the following:
- Customer ID. The customer name or ID number.
- Hardware ID, which matches the physical application key (dongle). The Hardware
ID is required to obtain technical support.
n
The items Number of Databases, License Mode, and Lock Timeout are not applicable to current
licensing.
- Import License File section: For information about importing a license file, see
“Installing Permanent Licenses” on page 95.

“Exporting a License” on page 102.
License Types and Usage
Starting with Interplay version 2.7, customers can buy two types of client licenses:
• MediaCentral Base license
• MediaCentral Advance license
The names of these licenses include MediaCentral, but the licenses themselves are used for all
Interplay client applications. For example, a user on one workstation can work with all of the
following applications concurrently and use only one MediaCentral Base license:
• Digidesign
™
Pro Tools
®
Integration
• Interplay Access
• Interplay Assist
• MediaCentral (access to iNEWS only or Interplay Production only)
• Media Composer Cloud
• Media Composer or NewsCutter
Prior to version 2.7, customers purchased licenses for individual applications. These legacy
licenses are still supported, as described later in this topic.
n
Interplay Engine patch release 2.7.0.2 added support for the Central Base license (KEY-J) and
Central Advance license (KEY-G) to be used as universal license types. This change allows these
licenses to be used for both legacy and MediaCentral client connections.
