Ok, I purchased 1 license, Thank you.
  Can I give you the order number here ?
 
 
  I have sent all the details to the shop email.
 
  Thanks again
 
  Gunnar, One of my V2s are showing color with latest core !

Looks like I only need 1 license.

The cards are identical, yet one is licensed.

You can probably check this on your system when you look at the serial numbers.

Thanks

I'm sorry if something bad happened with Igor and Apollo but its not my fault. I purchased the cards from an Apollo team member at the time. Maybe things have changed there, however I have 2 cards that need licensing. I am at a loss.

I fully agree with you, it is not your problem because the reason exposed is not the good one.
 
During years, people ordering the Vampire boards from the official Apollo page was added to a waiting list and contacted by Igor for all the process and support. He done everything to make the V1 and V2 expansions physically come true (hardware). But, since the V4 release the V2 is discontinued and that is the real problem if you buy one today: The Shop is not the same as previously and the new expansions design (IMHO it was better before) and manufacturing are not done by him. The Apollo Team has decided to limit the upgrade, if he does pay the new license. So, here we are!
 
What is not enough clear for the customer:
- When and why a V2 user have to pay (or not) to continue to upgrade his hardware
- The V2 licence upgrade is not on the shop page, so it is not possible to know the price first.
 
Anyway, I understand that everybody works (software or hardware) have a cost. Just, Igor have to inform people they have to pay a licence if an updrade is required and sell the product for a price according that. And the Apollo Team have to add the licence to the shop page and the condition required to buy it to help customers to do the good choice.

I payed the license last night 1st May and I haven't heard anything.
  No confirmation or anything
           
  I contacted my friend who I purchased the 1st of 2 Igor vampires from and they confirmed they purchased a license, thants why only 1 card requires a license, I thought it was both.
           
               
  Now I have to wait for the next core update to be released.
  Going by the updates it could take a few weeks.
       
  Is there a difference between Core 2.15 and 2.16 apart from the serial check ?

Yes G2.16 has several improvements.
When new Releases come out the improvements and changes are all listet. Just have a look at the G.16 release announcements.
G2.17 will comes also soon for V2. With a number of more improvements.

Yes, actually every core supports this.

All you need to do is set the the proper mode in P96 config and you need a monitor supporting your mode.

Hi,
 
  Yes my monitor supports 1280x1024 however I dont see the resolution listed.
  Do I have to create one ?
 
  ATM only as high as 1280x720.

I want to see what core I'm running but Vcontrol is missing in coffin

 
  Thanks

Vcontrol is part of the SAGAdriver package.
Get it here.... EXTERNAL LINK (Apollo SAGA)
or here... CLICK HERE (SAGADriver.lha)

Please note, that in newer versions of SAGADrivers, Vcontrol was renamed to ApolloControl. For further information please head to Apollo team Discord where you´ll get your answers very quickly.

OK, Thanks,

I noticed Coffin r62 has ApolloControl however when I update the SAGA drivers I get a black screen after boot.
I will have a play tonight and go on Discord.
