All Pixera hardware is shipped with a PIXERA server license - beside that, each license is available as software only as well.

HOW TO CHANGE A PIXERA LICENSE
The USB dongle is the same for all licenses - it only depends on the license release code which license is stored.
A license can be upgraded very easily by a new unlock code.
Changing License on Manager
By selecting the specific service in the live section of the mapping tab, you can find "Manage License" on the right hand side in the Inspector. Simply copy the new license code in the section "license code" to unlock new functionalities or outputs.
Changing License on Client
Besides the possibility to enter the license key in Pixera, this can also be done in Presence.
Click on "Manage License" and enter the license key in the respective field.
License Stacking
In Pixera it is possible to stack output licenses to increase the number of licensed outputs.
For example, if two license dongles with two licensed outputs each are connected to a playout computer, this computer will then have four licensed outputs.
There are two different workflows to achieve this:
Workflow 1 - .lic files are available
If you have the .lic (license) files - Copy and paste the files into this folder path:
C:\ProgramData\AV Stumpfl\Pixera\check
Afterwards attach both dongles and run Pixera.
Workflow 2 - .lic files are not available
If you dont have the .lic (license) files and just the license codes on a fresh computer:
- attach dongle one and run Pixera. Enter license code when prompted
- Close Pixera
- detach Dongle 1
- attach Dongle 2
- Run Pixera
- Enter license code for Dongle two
- close Pixera
- attach both dongles and run Pixera.
Now you have two .lic files in the check folder and the total amount of outputs available
