WARNING: Certain computers do not properly shut down despite the reboot command issued by the
installer but only perform a log off. In this case, please activate a full shut down manually.
Pyramix Software Registration
The Pyramix Virtual Studio software and its various software options are protected by an authorization
key mechanism which uses a unique registration key number generated by Merging Technologies. Based
on purchased software components, this key is unique to your Mykerinos board serial number, your Com-
pany Name and your User name. Once you have registered your software you will be provided with this
Key or Keys (depending on the chosen options).
In a multi-board system only one key is required for all connected boards. The master board validates the
others.
If you did not receive this key, have lost it or would like to change the user and/or company name, please
contact your Merging Sales Partner with your Mykerinos serial #, your User Name, your Company Name
and the list of purchased software components. Usually, a key can be issued within one business day, after
the verification of your personal data has been completed.
Entering your Key(s)
After the Pyramix installation process you will be prompted to enter your Authorization Key. If you click
Yes the MT Security Settings dialog will be launched automatically, allowing the Key or Keys to be
entered immediately. If you choose not to enter your Key at this point you can do so later by choosing one
of the following procedures:
1. Double-click the file YourPersonalKeyXXXXX.mtk. This is attached to the email containing your
Key(s).
2. Open the MT Security Settings Control Panel
(Windows Task Bar Start > Control Panel > MT Security Settings),
click the Import Key button and browse for your Key file called
YourPersonalKeyXXXXX.mtk
3. Open the MT Security Settings Control Panel (as above), in the Registration section select the
board number corresponding to the serial number for your Keys or HASP Key for a dongle, click the
Enter Key button and type your User Name, Company Name and Key then click OK. Repeat this step
for each Keys listed in the email.
Changing or re-entering a Key
Should you need to subsequently change or re-enter a Key, follow the appropriate option above.
The key system is "smart". Only one key or set of keys is required regardless of the number of boards in a
system. Any card can hold this key set as the authorization is processed based on a "Logical OR" of all
keys present on any and all Mykerinos boards. Of course this Logical OR will only process keys with identi-
cal User Name and Company Name to the one entered in the key enabling window.
Evaluation Mode
If Pyramix is started without a valid registration key, the software will recognize that no valid key is available
and will start in “evaluation” mode, which only allows for basic operation of the software.
