Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.4 GV-eLicense Program
The unique LDX Series Grass Valley eLicense program offers great flexibility in format support
and feature set availability. Within the eLicense program there are two different ways to
upgrade a camera: using a perpetual or a temporary (7-day) license.
• A perpetual license provides a permanent upgrade from any lower camera model in the
range to any higher model in the range.
• A temporary license provides a 7-day upgrade, so the same flexibility is available, but for a
lower weekly cost.
Multiple licenses may be purchased to upgrade cameras by more than one level (e.g., LDX Flex
to LDX WorldCam) or to extend 7-day upgrade licenses.
