Let’s clear up some misconceptions about Vinyl Express LXi Cloud and LXI 12. At one end of the spectrum, we have users who fear they can never switch computers because they have already downloaded their one and only copy of LXi. At the other end, some users think they can download the software multiple times onto an infinite number of computers. The standard purchase of Vinyl Express LXi Cloud or LXi 12 includes one license.Īfter all, if the software doesn’t require a security hardware key, what’s stopping users from downloading multiple copies? This article will address licensing and explain what to do if you ever need to reinstall to the same or new computer. VE LXi Master Plus 8.6 was available to download from the developers website when we last checked. The connection type is probably at its default setting (COM1). Then, right-click on the setup, and choose the option to change the port. When it opens, confirm that the brand and model listed in your setup are consistent with the equipment to which you are trying to send your job.

Prior to LXi Cloud, previous versions prohibited simultaneous usage on multiple computers by requiring that a security hardware key (or dongle) be plugged into the computer while using the program. First, launch Production Manager from your desktop. In the same manner, when Cloud users try to download to a second computer, they are prompted that the software has already been licensed to the first computer and is therefore unavailable for download.

LXi Cloud’s license registration prevents illegal copies and unauthorized usage, but what about a legitimate need to reinstall? Maybe our computer crashed maybe it caught a virus and we had to reformat maybe we just want to upgrade to a new computer.
