SECTION 3.3 LICENSE AND REGISTRATION
On launch, TriCaster presents an End User License Agreement dialog. After you
accept this, the Registration dialog shown in Figure 12 is presented. If necessary,
enter the unique TriCaster Serial Number and
Product ID for your system.
Important note: TriCaster’s video output displays
a watermark until the system is registered and
unlocked.
Hint: If the Serial number doesn’t appear
automatically, and you can’t find it on your unit,
you can obtain it from the registration webpage
mentioned in the next section, or by calling
Customer Support Desk (open seven days a
week).
