The new "service" licenses used in Quantum's new 794Q.GS00300 firmware is a 40 char long mix of upper case letters and numbers. Now the `LCMTstLicense` utility will normally check a license for any serial. For Dxi licenses like the service license you'll need to change `/etc/serialnum` first.

They're in da house!

If you've got an old school ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher and need to update the firmware but keep getting windows driver errors regarding writing to read only memory:

1. Download ATEM software v6.9 and perform a firmware update via USB
2. Configure the IP and optionally name
3. If needed download the latest version and update the firmware via LAN
4. If you have issues with the latest try 8.1.1.

Ever need to know your IP but Google is split tunneled or otherwise won't do? Want it in JSON?
