MXL Player licensing
Trial mode
Without a license the MXL Player can be used for seven days with all features and no limitations. Trial mode requires an Internet connection.
License portal
Your purchased licenses are managed through X-Software’s license portal:
https://license-portal.x-software.com/
You should have received a temporary password for your first login. After logging in you see a list of your licenses. Please don’t forget to change your initial password.
License activation
The MXL Player activates the license directly with Internet access to the license portal or offline by generating a request. This request is used to activate the license from an arbitrary device with Internet access to the license portal. The resulting activation response subsequently is applied on the offline computer in the MXL Player.
Activation
With direct Internet access
In order to activate a license with direct Internet access to the license portal, execute the MXL Player with the license key:
For AppImage
./MXL_Player-3.*-x86_64.AppImage license activate <LICENSE_KEY>
For self-extracting archive
/opt/mxl_player-3/bin/mxl_player license activate <LICENSE_KEY>
Without direct Internet access
In order to activate a license without direct Internet access, execute the MXL Player to generate an activation request:
For AppImage
./MXL_Player-3.*-x86_64.AppImage license activate <LICENSE_KEY> --offline-request /tmp/activation-request.txt
For self-extracting archive
/opt/mxl_player-3/bin/mxl_player license activate <LICENSE_KEY> --offline-request /tmp/activation-request.txt
On the license portal click the appropriate license, select “Activations” and then “Offline Activation”. Paste the activation request into the form and select “ACTIVATE” and then “Download Response”.
Activate the license by executing the MXL Player with the activation response:
For AppImage
./MXL_Player-3.*-x86_64.AppImage license activate <LICENSE_KEY> --offline-response /tmp/activation-request.txt
For self-extracting archive
/opt/mxl_player-3/bin/mxl_player license activate <LICENSE_KEY> --offline-response /tmp/activation-request.txt
Hardware replacement
Partial hardware changes over the time are allowed, but have to be synchronized with X-Software’s license portal in order to keep the activation up to date. Otherwise the license may become unusable when too many hardware changes have accumulated.
In case of a complete hardware failure, X-Software may replace a license on their sole discretion.
