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

Every Mbox license is built around single-layer crossfading, a core feature that keeps programming fast, fluid, and intuitive. Mbox Studio provides all the tools necessary for medium to large shows and installations that don’t require the full capabilities of Designer. When your project demands more output power and creative flexibility, Mbox Studio Plus license expands on Studio by doubling total video output pixels, pixel mapping capacity, and image remapping configurations, while also adding Syphon output from layers. Studio Plus is a seamless upgrade path when you need more, without changing the way you work.

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

• Subscriptions run for one year and cover all new Mbox releases at the subscription level while active.
• Soft license subscriptions allow two concurrent activations—one primary system and one backup or programming machine. License activation and deactivation require an internet connection, and the Mbox software performs periodic online checks for license validity. Soft licenses are delivered electronically and activate immediately upon purchase. Soft-license renewals are handled online.
• USB key subscriptions allow one activation tied to a physical device with no internet connection required during use. These licenses activate the first time the USB key is used with Mbox. USB key renewals are handled manually through a PRG.

Mbox supports macOS 12 Monterey through 26 Tahoe and runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel systems. For evaluation, the Mbox software can be downloaded for free and run in demo mode (with minor limitations) until a subscription is purchased.
