Licensing

Use the Licensing page to activate Q-SYS Feature Licenses on the Q-SYS Core processor.

Licensed Features

These features require activating a license when included in a design deployed to a Q-SYS Core processor manufactured with firmware version 7.0 and above. (Licensed features can always be run in Emulate Mode.)

  1. Software Dante requires Q-SYS Designer version 8.3 or later. Licenses are not additive – for example, if your configuration requires 16x16 channels, you must activate a 16x16 license as opposed to two 8x8 licenses.
  2. Core 110f processors manufactured with version 8.3 or later include an 8x8 Software Dante license. Software Dante perpetual licenses are available for purchase for older Core 110f processors and can be licensed at any supported capacity. (An 8x8 license is not required first.)

License Activation

Before proceeding with activation, ensure that you have received a QSC Entitlement Information email from QSC Software Licensing. This email contains your unique Entitlement ID (EID), which is required for license activation. If you do not have this email, contact the person at your organization who placed the order for the feature licenses and ask them to forward this email to you.

Tip: To simplify the license activation process, QSC strongly recommends that you provide your Q-SYS Core with temporary internet access, required only during the license activation process. It can be disconnected afterward, if necessary. If you are unable to connect your Q-SYS Core to the internet, you can still activate your license using an internet-connected PC.

Backing Up and Restoring Feature Licenses

Click Back Up All to save all installed Q-SYS Core licenses to a text file on your device.

In the event that your Core's licenses need to be reinstalled (for example, if one or more licenses is inadvertently deleted):

  1. Click Upload License File.
  2. Locate the backup text file on your device, and then click Activate.

Note: If a backed up license is already installed, you will receive an error that you can safely ignore.
