2.4 How to register the display unit
During the first 200 hours of operation, all features on the display are enabled, so you are able to
use your display straight out of the box.
In order to continue using your product after that initial grace period, you need to install a valid
license file (which enables the software configuration you have purchased). The license file can be
obtained from our website (as explained in this document). Of course you can install a license file
before the grace period has passed, which will immediately limit the features to the ones you have
purchased.
In the box of each display unit there is an envelope with a license sheet for the product flavor you
have purchased (B or P). If you have purchased any optional ‘feature packs’, there are also
envelopes with license information for each feature pack.
The product, the license sheets for the basic flavor (B or P) and any additional license sheet, all
have their own unique pincodes that have to be registered on our website, before activating your
product.
Overview of the basic steps:
1. Switch on the display unit. Consult the installation section of this manual to install the display
unit. What happens after start-up depends on the license grace period.
• If the license grace period is still in effect, you are able to use the monitor and all its features.
The remaining grace period is shown in the top right corner.
First operation
To register the unit on the website, you will need the current pincode. To obtain it, press Menu
and scroll down to the License submenu. The current pincode is displayed there.

8. Upload license file to monitors
• Copy the obtained license file to an USB stick, but make sure that the file name is ‘barcoLicense’
(no extension, case sensitive)
• There is only one license file for all monitors that have been registered with this procedure. Plug
the USB stick in each monitor that has been registered and wait 1-2s. until it becomes activated.
• The display unit will recognize the license file automatically. The following message appears
when the update is successful. The display unit should function immediately.
IMPORTANT
:
Important note: Only license files with a filename “barcoLicense” (case sensitive, no extensions) will be recognized
by the RHDM. If you obtain a file that has additional information in its name (such as customer reference, serial
Barco - RHDM-1701 - User manual 27
First operation
number etc), then rename the file to barcoLicense for purposes of license upload, and keep a copy of the original
file for your records.
IMPORTANT
Important note: Verify that the USB stick used to install the license file does not contain a RHDM softwa r e pa ck a g e
(xxx.deb) or a 3D LUT file (3d.lut) in its root. Software updates always have priority and will prevent the license
from being installed.
9. Troubleshooting
• If the registration process produces an error, check if the license codes were entered correctly. If
the problem persists, contact Barco.
• You might by mistake assign the wrong license to a monitor with a particular S/N. (e.g. a monitor that is installed at a certain position). This can be corrected.
:
First, upload the wrong license file to the monitor.
Generate a new pincode via the monitor’s OSD (see following section).
Register this pincode on the website, as explained previously.
The website will ‘release’ that particular monitor and the (wrong) license previously associ-
ated with it
Assign that license to the correct monitor.
