Atomix LT Installation Guide
3.2 Software Installation
Beside the files for software development, the DVS SDK software pack-
age also includes the Atomix LT board driver and tools for a basic hard-
ware setup and diagnostics.
For descriptions of the software and driver as well as their installations
please refer to the separate SDK documentation.
Once the software installation is completed, you have to activate the
feature set available for Atomix LT with the delivered license key.
3.3 Setting the License Key
This section explains how to set the license key on the computer system
equipped with Atomix LT. The license key activates the individual fea-
tures that you have ordered for your DVS product. After the SDK and
the driver are installed, you have to set the license key for Atomix LT to
be able to use the full feature set.
Atomix LT is capable of holding two license keys. The first key is usually
used for licensing the features that you have ordered with Atomix LT.
The second key is usually used for temporary licenses that you may
have received for evaluation purposes. Each license key enables one or
more (optional) features of Atomix LT until date of expiration (if appli-
cable). Each time Atomix LT starts the keys are checked and their fea-
tures are combined.
To set the license key(s) for Atomix LT you have to perform the follow-
ing:

Save the license key that you have received with Atomix LT in a text
file at a location of your choice on the computer.

Open a command line (shell, or in case of Windows command
prompt (cmd)).

Enter the command
svram licence keyfile1 <text
file>
. For
<text file>
insert the path and file name to the text
file that holds the license key.
In case the driver is not already loaded, load the driver. Further
information about this can be found in the separate SDK doc-
umentation.
In case you have several Atomix LT boards installed, use the
environment variable
SCSIVIDEO_CMD
and set it to
PCI,card:<x>
(with
<x>
as the number of the board, nor-
mally counting from zero (
0
)) to access a particular board.
Please refer to the SDK documentation for details about setting
the variable
SCSIVIDEO_CMD
