The MANUS software licenses unlock the full functionality of MANUS Core 3 – the central software hub for all MANUS products. They support glove data handling in two modes: as recorded data or as live streaming.
Each license includes access to the latest MANUS Core 3.x (incl. all updates and improvements within the 3.x release) and supports up to 8 actors. Without a license, the hands can be moved live in MANUS Core, but no data can be saved, exported or streamed.
The licenses are available in various tiers – from the base license to integrations for SDK access, XR/digital twin as well as optical and inertial mocap pipelines. When using multiple license keys with the same actor count, the features stack ("feature stacking").
