2. Do one of the following:

•

Choose

File | Import License

and navigate to the file location to open the text file.

•

Drag and drop the text file onto the License Manager.

You will now see the permanent license in SabreTooth, as well as any other licenses, permanent
or temporary, that have been installed on this machine.

You should save the permanent license to a backup system.

Deleting licenses

Deleting a license disables the feature that it enabled. You might want to delete a temporary license
prior to its expiry if you have decided not to purchase the feature. You can delete a temporary license
after the permanent license has been installed without disabling the licensed product.

1. Select the license in the SabreTooth License Manager.

2. Use the Delete key on your keyboard or right click with your mouse and select

Delete

Archiving licenses

You can archive your licenses to a secure external location. This allows you to quickly re-install a
license should it be deleted or should you have to downgrade and then re-license the software. You
can archive multiple licenses at the same time.

NOTE: If you downgrade to an earlier version of the licensed software, make sure to archive
the licenses first.

1. In the SabreTooth License Manager, select the license or licenses.

2. Choose

File | Export License

to open the Save As dialog box.

3. Assign a meaningful name to the file, and save it to the desired location. Grass Valley recommends

saving the license file to a USB drive or other external location.
