About licenses/options
With Grass Valley licenses it is possible to temporarily or permanently add one or more
extra options to your LDX 100 camera.
Contact your local Grass Valley representative for information about the availability and
prices of the different licenses.
Installation procedure
Licenses have the form of a .lic file which is a plain text file containing one or more licenses
for one or more cameras. In most cases, you obtained the license file as an email or file
attachment after purchasing a license from Grass Valley.
Note: It may be necessary to extract the license file(s) from a compressed (zip) archive
before proceeding.
Using a USB Flash Drive
Copy the license file to the root directory of a USB Flash Drive and insert the USB Flash drive
into the USB connector at the back panel of the camera head.

Note
The file system of the USB Flash Drive must be FAT32.
Adding licenses
1 In the camera menu, navigate to the Licenses > New Licenses menu.
2 Check the time, date and time zone settings in the Time menu. If these settings are
correct, set the
Time & Date OK? item to Yes and continu with step 5.
• Date, time and time zone need to be set correctly before installing a temporary
license. A temporary license uses these settings for its start date reference. Once a
temporary license is activated, it will run until it is expired.
• To confirm the correct setting of time and date, this step must be repeated after
each power cycle.
3 If the time, date or time zone settings are incorrect, set the Time & Date OK? item to No
and set the correct time in the
Change Time menu and/or the correct date in the
Change Date menu. After that, set the Time & Date OK? item to Yes.
