Appendix B: Software Upgrade and Licensing
It is possible to upgrade existing MegaPower 48 units to MegaPower 48+ units by purchasing a software upgrade from
American Dynamics. The software upgrade can then be installed by following the instructions that accompany the
software.
Once installed, it is necessary to obtain a licence key which can then be used to verify the upgrade. To do this, follow the
steps below:
1. In the Easy48 utility, go to the
Multi-Matrix
screen and enter the IP details of the upgraded matrix into the
Primary
Matrix Configuration
section of the screen. Data can only be uploaded and downloaded to a primary matrix.
2. Go to the
Upload
dialog (see page 10).
3. Select the
Upload Licence Key
option from the
Upload Task
drop down list.
4. Click the
Upload
button.
Details of the current licensing information will be uploaded from the matrix to Easy48. Make a note of the current
licence key and the MAC address.
5. Contact American Dynamics Technical Support or go to the American Dynamics website at
www.americandynamics.net
. When you provide the MAC address of the upgraded matrix to American Dynamics,
you will be issued with a new licence key.
6. In Easy48, go to the
Download
dialog (see page 9).
7. Select the
Download Licence Key
option from the
Download Task
drop down list.
8. Enter the new licence key into the
Licence Key
field.
9. Click the
Download
button.
The new licence key is downloaded to the matrix. The matrix can now be used as a MegaPower 48+ unit.
