This is the startup screen of SBench 6. It allows to select the cards that should be handled by SBench 6 and it also allows to select a software license or demo license to operate the software now.
It is necessary to select a single card or a group of cards that are synchronized (stated as "Group 1" in the example). SBench 6 can only operate single cards or synchronized cards of the same type (A/D) at one time.
Depending on the installed software licenses different options are available after selecting the hardware to be used. If a Professional or a Professional + Multi License is installed on your hardware you do not need to select the license and SBench 6 will automatically start with the installed license.
Base License: This license is available for free and runs with all supported cards. The main functions of the software are available but no professional functions like streaming or advanced calculations.
Professional Demo License: If installed on the hardware you may have a professional demo license available that will run with 30 software starts. Each time SBench 6 is started this value will count down until reaching zero. The Professional demo license is a full working SBench 6 Professional version that allows you to test all hardware features. If no Professional demo license is available on your hardware please contact
Spectrum to request one.
Professional License: Allows to start one card in professional version. The Professional license is installed on the hardware and cannot be moved to another Spectrum card.
Multi Cards License: Allows to start multiple cards that are synchronized with SBench 6. The Profesional + Multi License is installed on the hardware that holds the Star-Hub.
The Hide dialog on next start feature allows to automatically start SBench 6 with the selected license. If necessary one can reach the startup screen afterwards from the menu again.
