New ONYX 4.6 Licensing for PC Systems

With the upcoming 4.6 version ONYX adjusts its licensing structure.

These changes will not affect users of ONYX USB or NETRON Ether-DMX devices, and all existing Wings and Keys continue to support their current Universe licenses.

Available for order is also the new ONYX Essential Key, which is the perfect way for anyone requiring unlocked EtherDMX data or I/O Protocol support at a lower price.
