Halyx licence: machines, offline use and free trial

How the Halyx licence works: universes sent out, 14-day Solo trial, 7 days without internet, machines, transfer and release.

What the licence unlocks

The licence lives on the engine and unlocks the real output (Art-Net, sACN), counted in universes. Everything else is free: patch, programming, cue lists, 3D visualizer, unlimited screens.

  • A plan with N universes outputs U1 to UN, always the same numbers (Solo: U1 and U2).
  • A universe copied to several ports only counts once.
  • A fixture patched mid-show beyond UN is blocked; U1 to UN keep running.

The free trial

Solo for 14 days, no credit card, once per account and once per machine, from the first activation: create an account in the Halyx Account screen (or on this site), then sign in in the app.

Without internet

The engine keeps a signed authorisation, valid for 7 days without network, renewed every 24 h whenever internet is available (a phone hotspot is enough), never beyond the paid subscription period plus 7 days. During the trial, during a consumer's withdrawal period and while a payment is pending: 3 days.

A show is never cut: an increase in rights applies immediately, a decrease only when the engine restarts. 72 h after the authorisation ends, the output switches to demo; an alert announces it during those 72 h.

Machines

A licence covers one machine (more if you buy several). Signing out or releasing a machine removes its rights at once; its seat comes back at the end of its authorisation (+ 72 h). To get it back sooner: 3 early releases per 30 days. Machines are managed in the app (Account) or in your online account.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the licence expires mid-show?

Nothing right away: a decrease in rights only applies when the engine restarts, and the offline authorisation still runs for 72 h after it ends, with an on-screen alert.

Can I use Halyx without an internet connection?

Yes. You only need a connection now and then (a phone hotspot is enough): the authorisation lasts 7 days offline.
