Software Option Authorization
Software Option Authorization
Introduction
Some Kayenne K-Frame system options have software components that
can be enabled via an authorization process, using authorization codes.
Authorization codes are also used for tracking maintenance contracts.
New Kayenne K-Frame systems ship with the appropriate authorization
codes installed, enabling all purchased options. When new optional fea-
tures become available, Grass Valley sends new authorization codes to the
customers.
Authorization Codes
The authorization process involves receiving an authorization code from
Grass Valley and entering it in a menu on the system. The authorization
code is associated with a particular Kayenne K-Frame Video Processor,
identified by a System ID#, and is not transferable to different hardware. If
you have multiple systems at your facility, you will need to enter an autho-
rization code onto each system.
Standard authorization codes (Permanent) apply to purchased options and
maintenance contracts. Other authorization codes (Temporary) may also be
available that can enable selected options for a limited time. Temporary
authorizations can be used for trial demonstrations and other special pur-
poses. Temporary authorizations add to any permanently enabled options,
but these additional options are disabled after the allotted time elapses.
Expiration Dates
Maintenance contract and temporary authorizations have expiration dates.
Messages will be posted on the GV Switcher menu when an expiration date
approaches. Expirations occur at midnight, but do not immediately go into
effect. Instead, any expired options continue to operate until the system is
power cycled or reset, at which time the options are disabled. This is
intended to prevent loss of functionality during on-air operations. Expira-
tion of the maintenance portion of an authorization will not disable any
options.
