Purchasing VMS
Ordering
VMS is now simpler - From this page you may
download the code, and purchase a license and any interface
hardware you need. We offer one standard version
in three
different editions ( four edition if you count the free demo). The only difference between editions is how many objects may go 'live'.
- Editions that support 250,
500,
and 1000 live object are currently available.
- Our free demo supports10
live objects.
An object that can go live is one of the
objects that responds to DMX. A color scroller is a live
object; a line is not. Label text is not a live object, however Command
Text
is a live object because it responds to and changes depending upon a DMX value.
- All editions support up to four
universes of DMX512.
- All editions may be used to create
and
edit a 'Magic Sheet' of any size with any number of objects.
- All editions are network enabled.
- All editions support both ArtNet
Ethernet and USB dongle encoded DMX512.

and Pathway's Pathport protocols is under development.
- All editions are available
for
Power PC Mac, Intel Mac or Windows XP machines.
- All non-demo editions come with both a paper( by mail) and PDF manual as well as extensive on-line help.
How VMS is licensed
When you purchase VMS you will tell us what
name you want on the screen and any
print outs. We will email you a licensing code. Which edition you will
have depends on how many objects are enabled by the license you
purchase. The program you download is the same. The
code has three parts.
- Your user name, It must be entered exactly as we
wrote it - if we got it wrong, tell us.
- Your serial number. The last 3 or 4 digits are the number of live
objects your edition will support
- Your authorization code.
After you receive your authorization code by
e-mail, usually within a day, use the Help > Enter Authorization
Code command. Enter your information and click the Authorize button. To
confirm authorization, choose the About Virtual Magic Sheet command and
check the supported number of live objects.
Downloading the latest VMS code
Even if you have a demo copy of VMS we
recommend that you download the code to get any recent updates. The
following files are available for downloading:
