Licensing Myriad Playout v7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This guide will walk you through the process of licensing your new Myriad Playout 7 installation.  Even if you have an existing and licensed Myriad 6 installation, you will still need to apply a separate license to access Myriad 7.

When you run Myriad Playout 7 without a license applied, you will see the standard Myriad License window.

This allows you to:

• Install License - Apply the license key supplied by Broadcast Radio and enable your purchased features.
• Continue Evaluation - You can use Myriad Playout 7 without a license, in a limited capacity for a period of up to 30 days. During the initial four days, you can access all basic Myriad 7 Playout features with no time restrictions. After the initial four day period, you can continue to access basic Myriads 7 Playout features for for up to 30 days (in total) but with a maximum runtime of 30 minutes applied.
• Exit - Quit the application.

Not all features are unlocked in Evaluation mode as some of the more advanced options are unlocked with the Station Enabler code.

In this guide, we will assume you already have emails from Broadcast Radio that contain the License and Station Enabler codes.
