Future Expansion is of course, possible, whether you start with Turnkey, a Card and Software Set or Native. Note: With the release of Version 7.0 new Pyramix systems are only available in Native or MassCore* versions. Mykerinos technology will continue to be used for I/O but the DSP engine on the cards is now oficially legacy technology. The Tri-media chips have had a long (ove 11 years) life but superior technology is now available.
The Pyramix software uses an automated installer wizard which will install all necessary prerequisites. We use a unified installer package containing the current versions of Pyramix, VCube and Ovation. The initial installer screen offers the choice of Pyramix, VCube and Ovation.
Note: It is essential that previous versions of Pyramix and the MassCore engine are removed prior to installation of V7 Prior to installing the Pyramix 7.0 version, we recommend that you back up your Projects and save your settings, keyboard shortcuts, templates, etc..

Installing Pyramix Note: You must have full Administrator Access to install Pyramix. Under Windows Vista & 7 it is recommended but not mandatory that the user has full administration rights (User Accounts->account type), in order to run Pyramix (or Vcube or Ovation).
Entering Your Security Key(s) After the Pyramix installation process you will be prompted to enter your Authorization Key. If you click Yes the MT Security Settings dialog will be launched automatically, allowing the Key or Keys to be entered immediately. If you choose not to enter your Key at this point you can do so later by choosing one of the following procedures: Double-click the file YourPersonalKeyXXXXX.mtk.
Of course, this Logical OR will only process keys with identical User Name and Company Name to the one entered in the key enabling window. Evaluation Mode If Pyramix is started without a valid registration key, the software will recognize that no valid key is available and will start in “evaluation” mode, which only allows for basic operation. Pyramix Software Registration We strongly recommend you register your Pyramix software immediately to ensure access to the latest software downloads and support http://www.merging.com/register/...
