-===== Temporary Licenses =====
-In some cases, for demonstration purposes, pre-hardware delivery situations or others, pangolin may provide temporary activation of Quickshow without hardware, to do this we can use something called a "PCID License" this will be a license code that will be redeemed online and give temporary full access to Quickshow. In the "status" tab, double click on the computer name, this will open the "License" tab. Select "Add new PCID License Online" and enter the code provided by Pangolin into this box, click "redeem online". This will provide a temporary authorization of the Full Quickshow software without output hardware.

 Note: Once redeemed a new registration will automatically complete, this shouldn’t be an issue, and happen automatically as you need an internet connection to use Quickshow PCID licenses.
