Check out the Mbox Comparison Chart for more details on the differences between the Mbox Designer, Studio, Studio Plus, and Mini license levels.

Every Mbox license includes single-layer crossfading, a key component of the Mbox software which makes programming fast and easy. The Studio license provides all the tools necessary for medium to large shows and installations that don’t require the full capabilities of the Designer license. And if you need just that little bit more, the Studio Plus license option extends the capabilities of the Studio license: doubling the video output pixel count, pixel mapping pixel count, and image remapping configurations, while also adding Syphon output from layers.

Subscription licenses for Mbox Studio and Studio Plus are available as either soft-licenses or USB license keys:

• Subscriptions have a duration of one year, and while active will license any new release of the Mbox software at the subscription license level.
• Soft-license subscriptions allow for two concurrent activations, the first for an active computer and the second for a backup or programming computer. License activation/deactivation requires an internet connection, and the Mbox software will perform periodic checks for license validity - these checks also require an internet connection.
• USB key subscriptions allow for only one activation, as the license activation is tied to a physical device that must be plugged into the computer. No internet connection is required when using a USB license key.
• Soft-licenses are delivered electronically and become active immediately upon purchase. USB key licenses become active when first used with the Mbox software. Once active, both license types expire after one year (365 days).
• Soft-licenses sold outside of Germany can be set to renew and bill the original payment source automatically.
• USB key subscription renewals are always manual and must be handled by a PRG representative.
