Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 228)

Licensing Aurora Playout
If using Aurora Playout with GV STRATUS, you need the STRATUS-ELITE license installed on
the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Services. The Aurora Playout application checks
for the STRATUS-ELITE license first, then AURORA-PLAYOUT license in order for you to
operate in both GV STRATUS and Aurora environments.
Requesting a license
Features for your GV STRATUS system are enabled by SabreTooth licenses. For each server you
are licensing, you must provide a generated unique ID to Grass Valley. Grass Valley uses the ID to
create your unique license.
1. Refer to the license sheet that you received with your GV STRATUS license. The license sheet
has the Sales Order number that you need.
2. Generate a unique ID of the device where you will install software, as follows:
a) Double click on the License Manager icon on the Windows Desktop.
The SabreTooth License Manager opens.
b) Choose File | Generate Unique Id the License Manager.

• Customer Name
• Customer Email
• Sales Order Number
• Unique ID of the device where you will install software.
• The license types you are requesting.
4. Send the email to [email protected].
The SabreTooth license number will be emailed to the email address you specified.
Next add the license to the SabreTooth License Manager.
Adding a license
Your software license, Licenses_<SalesNumber>.txt , is provided as a text file. Use the License
Manager to add this file to your system and enable the desired feature.
1. Double click on the License Manager icon on the Windows Desktop.
The SabreTooth License Manager opens.
