License key management
By default an unregistered product is in demo mode : it works only 5 minutes and stops during 20 minutes before restarting. Registration is checked by the controller when it powers on or after a reboot.
When you receive the product, the license key is already entered and demo mode is disabled. The License Key is written in a file on the supplied USB key and on a sticker placed on the controller.
YOU MUST KEEP IT IN SAFE PLACE.
These operations reset the serial, you will have to enter it again :
- Firmware upgrade
- Restore default (check the FAQ on how to determine which port to use) settings
- Write configuration before Read Configuration
To check if you are in demo mode : Plug in the USB cable and click on connect on the desktop.
If you see a red alert in the right "demo mode", there is an issue with the license key (missing or wrong)
