Description
MADRIX 5 preprogrammer: prepare shows before the installation is ready
The preprogrammer licence removes the main limitations of the MADRIX® 5 demo mode and lets you simulate any regular licence level. It does not unlock any output to fixtures.
MADRIX KEY required: the licence is stored on an empty, metallic MADRIX KEY and bound to its serial number. Without a KEY, MADRIX 5 only runs in demo mode, without output. The KEY is not included; each licence needs its own KEY. Older green plastic KEYs do not work with MADRIX 5.
Is this right for my project?
What preprogrammer is made for
- Pre-programming projects at the desk without the installation or fixtures connected
- an additional workstation for programmers next to the licence that runs the installation
- testing which licence level a project needs
Not suitable for
- Controlling fixtures: preprogrammer outputs no data; that needs a licence from start upwards
- a clean preview without marking: certain outputs carry a semi-transparent “PREPROGRAMMER” watermark

Frequently asked questions
Is a MADRIX KEY included?
No. You receive the licence as an activation file. The empty, metallic MADRIX KEY is sold separately. If you already have an empty KEY, you can activate the licence on it.
Can I move to a bigger licence later?
Yes. The licence can be upgraded to a higher level on the same KEY at any time, for example to start. There are dedicated upgrade licences for this.
Does my old green KEY work with MADRIX 5?
No. MADRIX 5 only works with the metallic KEYs. In that case you need a new KEY for MADRIX 5.
Is the licence tied to one computer?
No, it is tied to the KEY. Plug the KEY into another computer and the licence goes with it.
How long is the licence valid?
Without time limit; according to the manufacturer there is no term and no subscription.
