Just In Mac Pro 2026 uses an online license activation process to ease the deployment and license transfer.

Just In Mac Pro 2026 is always fully featured but is not activated by default, and therefore a ToolOnAir generated watermark will be added to all Recordings. As soon as you purchase a Just In Mac Pro 2026 license, you will receive an activation code to remove the watermark.

Activating Your License

To activate your purchased Just In Mac Pro 2026 license with the Activation Code that you have received, please follow the below steps:

First, verify that the [JIM] Just In Mac Pro Getting Started v.2026.x instructions have been followed, and that you the setup is working accordingly. Then open the “Just Control Configuration” panel by either clicking on the “Channels” menu and selecting “Show Configuration Panel” or clicking on the Gear (cogwheel) icon on the right-hand side of the Just Control user interface.

Then select the Just In Mac Pro 2026 device (in this example “APPLE SILICON”) on the left-hand side and switch to the “Activation” tab.

Please enter the License Activation Code that you have received from either your preferred ToolsOnAir reseller or ToolsOnAir into the “Activation code” field and then click on the “Activate” button to activate your license.

Upon successful activation, the status in the “Current activation status and activated option” list changes from “Yellow ()” to “Green ()”.

Switch Activation between Channels

If you are working with frequently changing setups, like for instance using four licensed SDI channels (e.g. with an AJA KONA or Blackmagic Design DeckLink 8K Pro(G2) video card), and you need to change that configuration to use three of these SDI channels with one (1) additional NDI®, SRT, UDP or ST-2110 channel, then please confirm that you only enable the number of licensed channels in use (in our case 4 channels) and not all of them, as you might exceed the number of totally licensed channels on that particular machine.

License Transfer

If you need to transfer an already activated license from one to another machine, please ensure that you follow the steps below:

1. Open the “Configuration” panel in Just Control.

2. Select the Device on the left side and switch to the “Activation” tab.

3. Make sure that you have an active internet connection.

4. Use the “Deactivate” button to deactivate/release this license.

5. Make sure that the status of the Activation turns back to (Yellow) “Demo”.

6. Then open the “Configuration” panel, within Just Control, on the new machine and activate your license there (again, please verify that there is an active internet connection).
