  • 1.  Ross Xpression learning Demo

    Posted 08-22-2023 02:51

    Hello Guys and Ross Team,

    I am occasionally booked as an Audio Engineer or Set Technician by a small SNG company. The SNG utilizes Ross Hardware, such as the Carbonite Mixer, Mira+, Xpression Studio, and so on. In cases where there isn't a designated Graphic Operator assigned to a production, there are instances where the Production Engineer suddenly needs to work with the Xpression, even though he has other tasks to attend to. In order to assist them, I would like to become familiar with the Xpression and learn the basics. Unfortunately, since I live at a distance, access to the Xpression outside of actual productions is not feasible.

    Now to my question: Is there a demo version available with limited features or watermarks that I could use to practice and learn the software at home?

    Best regards, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    The XPression team does have demo software for freelancers.

    I will tag @Patrick Twomey here who can point you in the right direction.

    Hey, you guys are awesome – quick and to the point. Thanks for the trial license. I followed the instructional video but I'm having a problem. In the licensing tool, the provided key is checked as valid, but when I connect and update licenses, nothing shows up in the licensed feature window. If I try to open XPression Trial, I get a warning: "No valid XPression Trial License was found on this dongle."

    Is there something I'm missing? Does the Machine Info have to match certain server information? Also, the trial license doesn't contain a customer name, ID, or department.

    Best regards,

    Phil

    Probably need to see some screenshots of the license tool to see if something is wrong.

    Small Update:

    Patrick contacted me via PM, so my reply was also not visible in this thread. It is working now. Thanks for your fantastic support. Is there a way to mark this post as answered or finished?

    See you soon.

    Phil
