We recommend that you register your software as soon as possible to avoid any interruption in use after the 90-day trial period expires. Please click on the below link for step-by-step instructions about how to register your software.

Over the last few weeks, we have been hinting at an exciting new software that Daktronics is developing. This software has been released for customers purchasing our new GS6 Display but will be coming out in the near future for existing display owners.
