displays are attached. That license is applied to only one display, but that display stores the
license information for the entire system. In normal use, license information is shared with all
displays connected via SkyView Network to allow the Navigation Mapping Software to be
operated on any screen.
Checking License Status
If the MAIN MENU > MAP menu can be entered on every display in the system and SkyView
doesn’t present the “MAP TRIAL MODE” message when the Map Page is first displayed on boot,
Navigation Mapping Software is licensed for use in your aircraft.
If Navigation Mapping Software is not available, then either the system is not licensed or there
is no valid aviation database in the system. To determine which of these is the case, check the
status of the license in the Setup Menu under SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE.
See the SkyView System Installation Guide for more details about using Setup to check licenses.
In some cases, SkyView may display one of the following messages when the Map Page is first
displayed after boot:
•
LICENSED DISPLAY OFFLINE
-
XX HOURS REMAIN: The system is licensed, but the
display that actually stores the license is not currently connected. If the display that
stores the license is not returned to the system when this countdown expires, the
display will revert to an unlicensed state. This feature is intended to allow the map
to continue to function in the event that the display that stores the license fails or is
out of the airplane for repair.
•
MAP TRIAL MODE
-
XX HOURS REMAIN: The system is not licensed, but the
Navigation Mapping Software is in its 30 free flight hour introductory trial period. At
the end of this period, the map will cease to function until a license is purchased.
Note that this timer is only checked on boot. If it expires during a flight, the
Navigation Mapping Software will remain available for the remainder of that flight.
•
MAP TRIAL MODE
-
TRIAL EXPIRED: The system is not licensed, and the Navigation
Mapping Software has used all of the 30 free flight hour introductory trial period.
This message will appear once at boot to notify the pilot when the 30 hours were
finished during the previous flight.
Features Overview
Once licensed, the following features are enabled as long as SkyView has the appropriate high
resolution terrain database installed for the region of the world that you are flying in, and an
aviation database installed.
