Product Licensing
Throughout this article replace ‘x’ with the initial letter of the Cristie Product you wish to license.
e.g. TBMR, CBMR, NBMR and ABMR .
When first installed, xBMR may be used with the trial period of 30 days. During that period xBMR is fully functional. If the software is subsequently un-installed and later re-installed on the same system, the 30 day period continues from the date of the first installation. If you wish to use the software beyond the trial period, you must register and purchase a license from Cristie Software Ltd. sales@cristie.com
This discussion assumes your contract is already setup on the Cristie Licensing Portal and you have access to both Contract and Activation codes. If not register here - Cristie Licensing Portal Registration, Contracts and Downloads
