MassCore RTX64 license activation

Owned by David Jacques
Last updated: Oct 15, 2019

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Once your RTX64 license is activated, Merging highly recommends you make a backup of your RTX64 license file (RTX64.lic).
RTX64.lic is located in C:/ProgramData/IntervalZero.  
If you don’t see this folder, go in Windows Control Panel – Folder Options – View tab, and activate the Show hidden files, folders and drives option. 

For RTX dongle (SSK-HUD-RTX) users : a computer can use several RTX64 licenses (1 RTX dongle plugged at a time).
You need to use the Import license feature for each license .lic file to aggregate all the licenses in one computer.
One dongle can host several RTX64 licenses, even from different versions (RTX64-2013, RTX64-2014,...)

Since PMX V11/ Ovation V7, MassCore users running a RAID configuration must use a dedicated RTX dongle (SSK-HUD-RTX) to authorize MassCore.
This issue only affects the system (Windows ) RAID drives, if you have RAID Data drives, a dedicated dongle is not required.

To install Masscore, please see the Pyramix installation guide
For the authorization keys required to install MassCore are , please see MassCore and MT Security
