Load licenses into the device

Since Toolbox v9.1 the DHD Communication Server (DHDCS) replaces the Maintenance Window. Licenses are delivered as vouchers that can be used in combination with Device Serial Numbers to create fixed licenses. DHDCS dows this automatically for you. If no internet connection can be established by DHDCS, a QR-Code is generated that refers to a manual generation process at license.dhd.audio.

Already generated fixed licenses can also be entered via the Add Device Licese window.

The following steps can be used for firmware licenses, PC software licenses or feature upgrade licenses.

1. Connect your computer with the DHD device or the network containing the DHD devices.
2. Open DHDCS. To do so, start e.g. Toolbox software and press F7 on the Keyboard. The DHD Communication Server opens.
3. In the device list in the main window, select the device for which you would like to enter a license.

If the license code is incorrect, a Store License: failed window appears. Check if you entered the correct license code.

If you entered a voucher code and an internet connection is not available, the page generates a QR code. The QR code refers to license.dhd.audio and can be clicked or scanned with the smartphone. Use this website to generated a license manually on any computer with internet connection. For generation you require your voucher code and the Serial Number Software- the microSD card serial number. The generated license can then be entered on the offline computer (Follow Steps 1-6 again).
