LSX activation on desktop/laptop?

Hello all!

I was going to pm drlava, but it appears I may be under a post limit for such things, plus, I'm sure there are more than a few LSX users out there that could answer this without much trouble.

As the thread title suggests, I was about to install my newly purchased LSX software on my desktop when I noticed the bit about activation. Fearing that I might be tied to a single machine, and since my notebook will be used when live, I installed on that instead. My desktop system, as expected, has a much larger monitor and is just generally more comfortable to use for sitting down and designing shows. Ideally, I was hoping to use the desktop for longer design sessions and the laptop for shows, moving the dongle to the active system at the time.

Is this normal/possible with a single LSX license, or is a second required to accommodate the two systems? (never used at the same time - just for different scenarios)

I apologize in advance if my search-fu was not strong and this has already been answered and I appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks!

when i bought LSX, i bought it with a dongle so it wouldn't be bound to a specific machine. that may be a good solution for you.

Ok perfect! Thanks for the reply. I also purchased a dongle with that exact intent. Figured I would just move the dongle to the active machine when it was needed.

Yup that works, just make sure you place the activation.lic file in both folders. The same file should work on both computers.

Indeed. Working great on both systems and already losing plenty of sleep playing with this software. :th_jtteglad:

I just got my copy of LSX with dongle in the mail this weekend. I emailed my computer license code to the email address provided in the software 3 days ago but have heard nothing back as of today. Is there a more up to date email that someone can PM me or am I jumping the gun a little and just need to be more patient waiting for my activation.lic file. How long is normal for this file to be sent to me?

The LSX shop may be closed for the holiday weekend.

See if you can find drlava in the photonlexicon irc chat room.

Good point. Maybe I'll just wait till the end of the week and see what happens. Just really excited to start using the software.

viti, no I still have not gotten my activation code. I've called his number and left a message about it, I've sent him a message using his websites "contact us" and sent three additional emails, all requesting activation code be sent sooner than later....and I have not had any response from drlava whatsoever.

Yes. My used DAC is Helios (https://innolasers.com/shop/index.ph...roller=product). My purchased softwares are now the Ild Sos and the LaserCam Pro. They're running nice. You have problem?

Yeah, with my Ether Dream added to the DAC/Timeline there is no ILDA signal output. It acts like the driver isn't "driving"...maybe the wrong driver shipped with the dongle...we are working on it.

i sent a copy of your sitter grab to andrew (lsx) and jacob (etherdream). it is very odd. it should *just* work at this point.

Hi All
I too am having Issues with the new version of LSX same problem no ILDA signal out but this is with a Riya DAC I have the old version of LDS in a folder in the root of C along with the LSX folder when I hit the realtime exe in the LDS folder the old version of LDS outputs to the Riya DAC no problem.

The new LSX version comes up fully operational as described at the beginning of this thread but no output from the Riya DAC in this case.

Any help with what drivers or firmware updates I need to do would be appreciated.

Thanks Chris
Most likely some kind of driver issue I will send you firmware number and driver info when I get home the driver for the Riya I see coming up is a 2008 issue date so that is suspect but I would want to make sure I have the right one before updating.

i've pinged another LSX user and asked him to test.. he's currently on "monkey duty" (his words), but will be available this afternoon.

LOL Monkey duty that is like in big bang theory when Amy has the monkey in her living room smoking cigarettes and she is studying nicotine addiction I loved that episode! Maybe she can study us PL folks for Laser addiction!

OK, I'm off "monkey duty" for the day. My RIYA Lite DACs are no longer working. The driver is not loading. I suspect a Windows 7 update killed it. Has anyone reached out to RIYA?

You won't find your RIYA DAC at your house no matter how hard you look. ;) (/me looks down and sees a RIYA Lite DAC marked SWAMIDOG)

Hmm now that does sound right I am running windows 7 as well. The plot thickens and Swamis Riya is no where to be found, the home renovation monster has it.

I have had little luck reaching Riya in the past but maybe things have changed with that, it was quite a while ago,

Ihor are you there?

Has anyone heard anything about how to resolve the driver problem with the Riya?
