Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly, but my understanding is that I have a Beyond license, but just one. The purpose of having tied it to a FB3 is to provide additional security for Pangolin. As I acquired additional FB3s, I should have each of these capable of initiating the program, otherwise what happened to me could happen. My show, in my mind, a pretty big deal, would never compare to a gig where thousands and thousands of dollars and the operator's reputation was at stake. This is why you have redundancy and where you can't double up, you arrive early to Macgyver it. To purchase a second license just to cover the possibility that a small FB3 fails? That's silly. You have half a dozen more of these. If you link the license to a particular comp, then I see the same risk only for a different piece of hardware.
Maybe there is another solution that I'm unaware of, but this problem happened on Christmas, and so I have to wait three days to contact Pangolin's offices to fix this. There should be a 24/7 online system that could activate another FB3, so that a license holder could operate even if this happens at an inconvenient time.
The Quick show solution was a good idea, but I did not implement it in time. Damn.
I do not know the best way to toast a FB3. One method that worked for me was plugging it in to the desktop comp along with the three others and opening the program. Within a few seconds, the smell tells you that you're ready. I didn't see any smoke and literally the smell directed us to the particular FB3. The other FB3s were all fine and will all run the Quick Show program. It had to be the one FB3 that is coupled to the license?!
