Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 411)

SabreTooth Conform Server license process
Only the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Services requires this process.
The Conform 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.
One STRATUS-CONFORM license is required for each instance of the Conform Engine software
component in your GV STRATUS system. This is a SabreTooth floating license.
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 STRATUS license. The license sheet
has the Sales Order number that you need.
2. 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 "GV STRATUS Release Notes" for detailed licensing procedures.
3. When you receive your license file, use SabreTooth License Manager and install it on the server.
K2Config Conform Server setup
Only GV STRATUS systems with a Conform Server require this process.
If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, your Conform Server is already set
up on the K2 SAN, so you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, work through the topics in this section
sequentially to add a Conform Server to your online or production K2 SAN.
