just:in mac lite always comes fully featured (Demo Mode) but is not activated by default, and therefore a ToolsOnAir watermark will be added to all Recordings. As soon as you purchase a just:in mac lite licence, you will receive an activation code to remove the watermark.
Please note that an Activation is not required to test just:in mac lite.
License Activation
Open the “Just In Mac Lite Configuration” panel, select the “Device”, and switch to the “Activation” tab.
To apply any changes, make sure to unlock the Just In Mac Lite Configuration panel first.
Copy and Paste the Activation Key you have received from ToolsOnAir into the “Activation code” field, and either press the “Enter” key or the “Activate” button. Upon successful activation, the status in the “Current activation status and activated option” list changes from “🟡 (Yellow)” to “🟢 (Green)”. There will be a popup window as well, indicating that the Activation was successful.
just:in mac lite uses an online licence system for activating, deactivating, and checking your licence status. So, you'll need an internet connection for these actions.
Whenever you activate, deactivate, or transfer the licence, you'll need to be connected to the internet.
Once activated, the app checks your licence status every 30 days. This means you can use the app offline for about a month before it has to connect to the internet again to confirm your licence.
Switch Activation between Channels
If you are working with frequently changing setups, like for instance using eight licensed SDI channels (e.g. with an AJA Corvid 88 or a Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad 2), and you have to change that configuration to use four of these SDI channels with one (1) additional NDI® channel, then please confirm that you only enable the number of licensed channels in use (in that case 4 SDI channels only) and not all of them, as you might exceed the number of totally licensed channels on that particular machine.
Please verify that you restart the just:in mac lite application, after changing the enabled channels.
Feel free contact us if you have further questions regarding the TOA Licence Activation process.
Licence Transfer
If you want to transfer a licence from one to another machine, please ensure that you follow the steps below:
Open the “Just In Mac Lite Configuration” panel
Select the Device on the left side and switch to the “Activation” tab
Make sure that you have an active internet connection
Use the “Deactivate” button to deactivate this licence
Make sure that the status of the Activation turns back to 🟡 (Yellow) “Demo”
Then open the “Just In Mac Lite Configuration” panel on the new machine and activate your licence there (again, please verify that there is an active internet connection)
