SabreTooth Render Engine server license process

Only systems with an Render Engine require this process. The process is on the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Services.

The Render Engine license is installed on the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Services. Typically the GV STRATUS Core server has the role of Common Services. Each license below is a SabreTooth floating license.

STRATUS-CONFORM: This is the current license for the GV STRATUS Render Engine. One STRATUS-CONFORM license is required for each GV STRATUS server running Render Engine software in your GV STRATUS system. Each Render Engine server runs Render Engine software as the Conform Server and Proxy Encoder, so each server requires a license.

STRATUS-GVRE: This is the new license for the GV STRATUS Render Engine. One STRATUS-GVRE license is required for each GV STRATUS server running Render Engine software in your GV STRATUS system as the Conform Server and Proxy Encoder. Only one license is checked out by GV STRATUS Render Engine for conform and proxy functionality, therefore you must either have the STRATUS-CONFORM or the STRATUS-GVRE license in your GV STRATUS server.

STRATUS-TRANSCODE: This is the new license for the GV STRATUS Render Engine. One STRATUS-TRANSCODE license is required for each GV STRATUS server running Render Engine software in your GV STRATUS system as the Generic Transcoder. This license only enables Transcode jobs, with the maximum number of 10 jobs per server.

The type of license to be installed is determined by the usage of Render Engine in your system by setting the number of maximum concurrent job per functionality for the Render Engine on the Engines tab of GV STRATUS Control Panel.

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

Refer to the license sheet that you received with your GV STRATUS license. The license sheet has the Sales Order number that you need.
On the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Services, run the SabreTooth License Manager, generate a unique ID, and send the email to Grass Valley requesting your license or licenses. Refer to this Topic Library for detailed licensing procedures.
When you receive your license file, use SabreTooth License Manager and install it on the server.
