Check out the Mbox Comparison Chart for more details on the differences between the Mbox Mini, Studio, Studio Plus, and Designer license levels.

Every Mbox license includes single-layer crossfading, a key component of the Mbox software which makes programming fast and easy. The Mini license focuses on providing the right tools for 2D playback and compositing, in a compact footprint, for an unbeatable price. Mini easily meets the needs of smaller shows or installations that only require 2D content manipulation, and doesn’t leave out what makes Mbox great – flexibility, ease of use, and creative composition.

Subscription licenses for Mbox Mini are available as either soft-licenses or USB license keys:

• Subscriptions have a duration of one year, and while active will license any new release of the Mbox software at the subscription license level.
• Soft-license subscriptions allow for two concurrent activations, the first for an active computer and the second for a backup or programming computer. License activation/deactivation requires an internet connection, and the Mbox software will perform periodic checks for license validity - these checks also require an internet connection.
• USB key subscriptions allow for only one activation, as the license activation is tied to a physical device that must be plugged into the computer. No internet connection is required when using a USB license key.
• Soft-licenses are delivered electronically and become active immediately upon purchase. USB key licenses become active when first used with the Mbox software. Once active, both license types expire after one year (365 days).
• Soft-licenses sold outside of Germany can be set to renew and bill the original payment source automatically.
• USB key subscription renewals are always manual and must be handled by a PRG representative.
