VNMatrix Enterprise Controller Licensing

The VNMatrix Enterprise Controller must be licensed to allow the VNS 104 to connect. Ensure the controller has the appropriate license checksum and structure present. The license sets the maximum number of simultaneous software decoders that may run on a VN-Matrix system. The system controller limits the number of software decoders to the maximum set by the license.

See the VNMatrix Enterprise Controller User Guide, at www.extron.com for information about adding and managing the controller license.
