If you own two (or more) VS series units and two (or more) VS8F-3 boards
For the first VS series unit, you must install
the VS8F-3 in the first slot (p. 10) when
authorizing.
This VS8F-3 will become the “Key Card”
when authorization is completed.
Install the remaining VS8F-3 boards in
vacant slots in conformity with Rule 1 (p. 9).
When authorization is performed, data
describing the combination of VS plug-in
programs and Key Card (VS8F-3) is written
to the hard disk during installation.
After authorization, the VS plug-in
programs will work with any installed
VS8F-3 board as long as the Key Card is
present.
If you move the Key Card from the first VS
series unit to another VS series unit, the
same VS plug-in programs used on the first
unit can then be installed using the already-authorized SETUP DISC. In other words, as long as the Key Card is installed, you can install
its VS plug-in programs from the SETUP DISC and use them.
However, since there is only one Key Card, you will not be able to use these VS plug-in programs as authorized plug-ins on two or more
VS series units at the same time.
If you leave the Key Card in the first VS series unit and install the other (i.e., non-Key Card) VS8F-3 boards in the second VS series unit,
the VS plug-in programs installed in the second VS series unit will not be usable. Nor can you use an already-authorized SETUP DISC
to install an authorized version of the same VS plug-in programs to any VS without the original Key Card installed.
By using a second SETUP DISC to authorize the as-yet-unauthorized VS8F-3 [B], you will be able to use both VS8F-3
boards.
Please place the Key Card sticker on the VS8F-3 that is designated as the Key Card (To learn about the Key Card,
please refer p. 9).
