KBK Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hello. How many controllers can I operate on the basic Software? I am doing 2 now and want to add one more. Does the software determine that or just what type of lights/show I can do? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some controllers use one ID to operate and some use more then one so it would depend on the controllers you are wanting to use. If you are just wanting to use a basic CTB16 then you can use two of them.

PhilMassey Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Licence comparison is here. http://www1.lightorama.com/sequencing-suite-software/ AC and Dumb DC controllers consume 1 ID. Pixel controllers up to 16 ID's each. You are maxed out now on basic with two. Might as well bite the bullet and go to Pro. You'll get there anyway and the program features grow. Beat me to it........ Edited August 7, 2019 by PhilMassey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm still on S4, does S5 even use tracks? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say for sure about their version, but when I played around with S5, I don't recall seeing tracks in the version I checked out, which was an earlier version than what the OP shows theirs is. But then again, S5 was just too confusing and complicated for me, so I could have missed things here and there since I could never get it to work for me, and why I went back to the last revision of S4.

PhilMassey Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Existing S4 tracks become Grid View Groups in S5. Different name. Much the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Phil, so if they have a Basic license are they limited to two Grid View Groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
