If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, licenses are already installed, so you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, do the following:

  1. Refer to the license sheet that you received with your GV I/O license. The license sheet has the Sales Order number that you need.
  2. On each GV I/O device, run the SabreTooth License Manager, generate a unique ID, and send the email to Grass Valley requesting your license or licenses.
  3. When you receive your license file, use the SabreTooth License Manager and install it on the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server.
  4. Reboot each GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server device after installing the license.
