We appreciate that our current Sentinel HASP licensing has not lived up to expectations and caused unnecessary grief for our customers. We are pleased to announce that HASP licensing has now been removed and replaced with our own EditShare Licensing Service (ELS) This same licensing service has been trialled over the last couple of months with great success in the Linux Alpha/Beta versions.

Users will need to sign in to the application using their Lightworks Username and Password (an internet connection MUST be present on the system) Any existing licenses still yet to expire on the current release build of Lightworks will be honoured in the new ELS system. Upon successful sign in, existing license(s) (should one be available) will appear in the list for you to activate (Pro and AVID DNxHD)

The new ELS licensing has some limitations.

  • Users will not be able to detach a license from one system to another. To get around this, any user that purchases Lightworks Pro from release day onwards will be given a Pro license that can be used on two different systems.
  • There is no concurrent network licensing system in place. If a user has a Pro activation that has 4 concurrent users, this will show a Pro license in ELS that can be used 5 times on separate systems.
  • There is currently no way of cancelling a license and moving it to another system. Please make sure you activate the correct system.
  • There is currently no "Offline" activation method. Users MUST have an internet connection present on the system Lightworks is installed on.

To coincide with the upcoming new release and the new licensing we are introducing for the first time a 30 day Pro Trial license allowing users to experience the full power of Lightworks Pro. The 30 day trial can only be used once on a system and is not renewable. The Trial can be activated on as many different systems as you like, but the 30 days will start counting down from the first time you sign in. When users sign in to the application they will be offered the chance to try the product for 30 days or continue using the Free version of Lightworks. Once the 30 day trial expires, the software will revert to the Free version.

We are still aiming to release 11.1 on the 28th May 2013

Once again a big thank you to the 5300 of you currently testing and submitting feedback on the latest Windows Beta version. We appreciate all your efforts in helping to improve the next version of Lightworks.

This Beta version contains the new EditShare Licensing Service (ELS) which will allow users to sign in to the application using their Lightworks Username and Password (an internet connection MUST be present on the system) When signing in each new user will be automatically given a complimentary seven day Pro license to test the Pro version of Lightworks, this is renewable at the end of the seven days by simply signing back in to the application.

The Linux Beta does not include trial AVID DNxHD licensing due to the restrictions imposed by AVID. We will shortly be adding the option to the Lightworks Shop www.lwks.com/shop for users to purchase an AVID DNxHD license specifically for the Linux version.

There are still some limitations with the current Linux build which can be found on the Linux Beta page above.

Many thanks to all those Linux Alpha Testers that continually submitted feedback and helped get the Linux version to Beta stage.

The complimentary Linux activations will not appear on your Community page under Activations.]]> Announcements Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:35:57 +0000 New Lightworks Version 11.1.h Now Available as Public Beta - by: Matt Sandford http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=19&id=44460&Itemid=81#44460 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=19&id=44460&Itemid=81#44460
