Order the SW-405-1 device license from Creation Networks.\n--\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ViewSonic SW-405-1 is a 5-year Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) software device license designed for commercial AV environments deploying ViewSonic slot-in computing modules with ViewBoard interactive displays. This per-device license activates and maintains TSN software access on a single compatible unit for the full 5-year term, reducing the need for annual renewals in long-duration deployments. Compatible hardware includes the VPC-A31-O1 (Android EDLA-certified OPS slot-in PC) and the VPC13-C33-G1 (Chromebox OPS slot-in PC). It is an appropriate choice for organizations planning stable, multi-year AV infrastructure rollouts in education, government, or corporate environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SW-405-1 provides a 5-year TSN software device license for use with ViewSonic's OPS-format slot-in computing modules. TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) is ViewSonic's software licensing framework that governs the authorized use and ongoing support of the networking and management software capabilities built into compatible ViewSonic slot-in PCs. The license is tied to a single device, making it appropriate for per-unit deployments across distributed AV installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VPC-A31-O1 is an Android 13 EDLA-certified OPS slot-in PC featuring an octa-core processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB storage, WiFi 6, and full Google Play Store access — designed to expand the capabilities of ViewBoard interactive displays without requiring a standalone PC. The VPC13-C33-G1 is a Chromebox OPS slot-in PC that brings Chrome OS and native Google Workspace integration to compatible ViewBoard displays, with built-in enterprise security controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurchasing the SW-405-1 provides a predictable licensing cost over a 5-year horizon, which simplifies IT budgeting for schools, government agencies, and enterprises deploying ViewBoard systems at scale. Organizations with standardized ViewSonic display infrastructure benefit from consolidating their device licensing under a single multi-year term rather than managing annual renewals across multiple units. The SW-405-1 is sold as a single-device license; organizations deploying multiple units should purchase one license per device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-Year License Term\u003c\/strong\u003e — Covers a single device for five years, eliminating annual renewal cycles and reducing administrative overhead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTSN Software Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Activates and maintains ViewSonic's Time-Sensitive Networking software on the licensed device throughout the term.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Hardware Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — Works with both the VPC-A31-O1 (Android EDLA OPS module) and the VPC13-C33-G1 (Chromebox OPS module).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer-Device Licensing\u003c\/strong\u003e — One license covers one physical unit, giving IT administrators granular control over license assignment across a fleet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial AV Focus\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed for professional deployments in education, government, and enterprise environments using ViewBoard interactive displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePredictable Total Cost of Ownership\u003c\/strong\u003e — A single 5-year purchase locks in software coverage, simplifying multi-year AV infrastructure budgets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003emyViewBoard Ecosystem Alignment\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports the broader ViewSonic software ecosystem including myViewBoard device management and collaboration tools on compatible hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoardroom and executive meeting spaces with permanent ViewBoard installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConference rooms requiring stable, long-term AV software licensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting spaces in corporate campuses with standardized ViewSonic infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTraining rooms using ViewBoard displays with slot-in computing modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGovernment spaces requiring multi-year software licensing and predictable renewal cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose rooms in educational institutions deploying Android or Chrome OS OPS modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications \/ License Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;

Both are designed to slot into compatible ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this a per-device or per-site license?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The SW-405-1 is a per-device license. Each unit requires its own license. If you are deploying across multiple rooms or locations, you will need one SW-405-1 license for each physical device. ViewSonic also offers site licenses (such as the SW-415) for larger-scale deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is the license activated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: License activation is managed through ViewSonic's myViewBoard platform. Once purchased, the license key is applied to the specific device within your myViewBoard entity account. Contact ViewSonic or your authorized reseller for detailed activation steps specific to your deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What happens when the 5-year term ends?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: At the end of the 5-year term, the TSN software license will need to be renewed to maintain coverage. ViewSonic offers device licenses in 1-year (SW-401) and 7-year (SW-407-1) terms as well, providing flexibility for renewal or upgrade at the end of the term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this license be transferred to a different device?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: TSN device licenses are tied to a specific hardware unit. License transfers between devices are subject to ViewSonic's licensing policies. Contact ViewSonic support or your account representative for transfer eligibility and procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this license cover multiple software features or just one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The SW-405-1 covers ViewSonic's TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) software on the licensed device. It is not a bundle of multiple software products. For broader device management capabilities, ViewSonic's myViewBoard Manager Advanced licenses are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the SW-405-1 appropriate for K-12 school deployments?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. Both compatible devices — the Android EDLA VPC-A31-O1 and the Chromebox VPC13-C33-G1 — are used in educational environments. The 5-year term aligns well with typical school technology refresh cycles, making the SW-405-1 a practical choice for district-wide ViewBoard deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ViewSonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47760758800620,"sku":"SW-405-1","price":445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/23VWB-MLT1349-RC-VPC-A31-O1_Software_Suite.webp?v=1782234198","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/sw-405-1","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
