ASIO - MAD Infrastructure pack.
Description
The ASIO - MAD infrastucture pack includes the authorization to run the Merging Audio Device driver / Merging Ravenna ASIO driver in ST2022-7 mode, on a Virtual Machine, and enables the NMOS functionnality amd LAWO HOME Support.
The authorization keys are rather using Cloud Licensing (as dongle licensing is not working on Virtual Machine).
Software installation
If you plan to run on a physical machine, both Dongle and Cloud licensing are possible.
If you plan to run on a Virtual Machine, Cloud licensing is mandatory.
Since MAD 2.5.0, 2 Cloud licensing types are available, the Merging Cloud licensing, and the Sennheiser Cloud licensing.
Merging licensing is for any licenses not starting with serials 5333
Sennheiser licensing is for license codes starting with serials 5333

FAQ
In the event of a failure of the ASIO Clock Master Merging device, another Merging device will take over as the master and send the ASIO clock, ensuring continuity (assuming the ASIO Clock setting on the devices are set to Auto)
In a typical RED/BLUE deployment, the ASIO clock is multicast and transmitted on both network interfaces (NICs).
If the RED network is lost, ASIO sync will seamlessly failover, as MAD automatically switches between the available NICs.
Important note for Pyramix, Ovation, VCube and AMR users
If you run Pyramix, Ovation, VCube or AMR on the same computer, you don't need to install the separate MT Security, it is already embedded in those programs installers.
As all Merging programs are using the same security mechanism, you MUST run the same major version for those programs AND the Merging Audio Device driver.
