Unlock Procedure

1.  Locate your D8B’s Electronic Serial Number (ESN). This

is displayed at the bottom of the Licensing window,
which is accessed from the Setup screen. The 12 digit
ESN is made from numbers 0–9 and letters A–F. It is
unique to the D8B processor, and is not the serial
number label on the rear of the control surface or CPU
chassis.

2.  You will also need your plug-in’s serial number which is

printed on the floppy disk label.

3.  To obtain the unlock code, have the ESN and plug-in

serial number ready. Then you have two options:

       • Log on to the Mackie plug-in authorization web page:

     (http://www.mackie.com/d8bauthorize.htm)

       or
        • Telephone Mackie Tech Support at 800-258-6883.

4.  When you have obtained an unlock code, open the D8B

Setup window, and click 

Licensing

.

5.   With your plug-in highlighted in the Licensing window,

click 

Authorize

, and enter your unlock code in the

UNLOCK CODE box. Click 

Enter

, and enjoy your newly

expanded console.
