Configuring the License Service
After installing the service, some configuration is required, using the Avid Service Configuration
application. This application should already be installed on a PC on the same network, but might not
necessarily be installed on the same computer as the Command Server software or the License
service.
Configuring the Avid License service involves three tasks:
• Adding the Temporary Command License
• Generate an Activation File for a Full Command License
• Add the Permanent Command License
Adding the Temporary Command License
To get you started with MediaCentral Command, Avid provides you with a Command temporary
(TEMP) license to use until your get your full Command license.
To add the temporary license:
1. Save the license file to My Documents on the Command Server.
2. Open the Avid Service Configuration application.
3. On the Hosts tab, navigate to and select the Avid License Service.
4. Click the Add License File button.
5. In the Add Licenses dialog box, select the license file and click Add Licenses.
