SpinetiX DSOS SYSTEMS – 3-Year License for 1 Player

Product Overview

The SpinetiX DSOS SYSTEMS 3-year license activates full SYSTEMS mode digital signage functionality on one HMP400 or HMP400W player for a three-year term. This SpinetiX SYSTEMS mode 3-year license offers a cost-effective alternative to the permanent license for integrators and organizations on project-based budgets or defined technology refresh cycles. DSOS SYSTEMS enables multi-zone content, Elementi integration, and data-driven signage workflows on Intel-based SpinetiX hardware. The digital signage OS 3-year subscription provides three years of operation before renewal, simplifying budget forecasting for large deployments.

Product Description

DSOS is SpinetiX's purpose-built Linux operating system for commercial digital signage, designed to run 24/7 on Intel-based hardware with minimal overhead. The SYSTEMS mode tier activates the complete digital signage environment on an HMP400 or HMP400W player, including multi-zone canvas layouts, content scheduling, and native SpinetiX Elementi integration. With a 3-year subscription term, this license is well suited for deployments tied to lease cycles, project timelines, or annual budget approval processes. The DSOS SYSTEMS HMP400 license enables data-driven content delivery through Elementi, supporting live feeds from Microsoft 365, XML/JSON sources, RSS, and other enterprise data systems. At 600 MB, DSOS is a lean, purpose-built OS that avoids the vulnerabilities and resource overhead of general-purpose operating systems. Security features include UEFI Secure Boot, TPM/Intel TPP support, and cryptographically signed software packages. The 3-year term provides a fixed operating cost over the license period without the upfront investment of a permanent license, making it appropriate for capital-budget-constrained deployments. At the end of the 3-year term, the license can be renewed through Creation Networks to maintain continuous operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when the 3-year license expires?

At the end of the 3-year term, the DSOS SYSTEMS license will need to be renewed to maintain player operation. Creation Networks can assist with renewal orders before expiration to avoid any interruption to your signage network.

Is the 3-year license cheaper overall than the permanent license?

The 3-year license has a lower upfront cost than the permanent license. For long-term deployments expected to run beyond 3-4 years, the permanent license typically offers better total cost of ownership. For project-based or budget-cycle deployments, the 3-year term may be more appropriate.

Which hardware does this license support?

This 3-year DSOS SYSTEMS license is designed for SpinetiX HMP400 and HMP400W Intel-based players.

Can I upgrade from a 3-year license to a permanent license?

Contact Creation Networks to discuss upgrade or trade-up options. SpinetiX licensing policies may allow credit toward a permanent license purchase depending on the remaining term.

Does the license cover multiple players?

No. Each SX-SE-DSOS-3Y-SYSTEMS license covers one player. For multi-player deployments, purchase one license per player and contact Creation Networks for volume pricing on larger quantities.

Is software support included?

The license includes access to DSOS firmware and OS updates during the license term. For deployment support or integration services, contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net/contact.
