Authorize the Signal desktop application, bind the workstation to a valid device license, and select the organization and team that own the live event.

Best for: operators signing in on a new workstation, changing workspaces, or resolving a license state before production.

Authorize the application

  1. Start authorization from Signal. The application opens a browser-based PKCE flow and waits for a localhost callback.
  2. Complete sign-in and approval in the browser on the same workstation.
  3. Return the callback within the 15-minute window. If the window expires, start a new authorization attempt.
  4. Back in Signal, select the correct organization and team for the event.
  5. Confirm that the workstation reaches Licensed before starting a production pipeline.

Signal stores its authorization tokens in the operating system credential vault. Do not copy, export, or share credential-vault contents.

Read the authorization and license states

  • Licensed: the device has a current server-issued lease and can be used within its authorized capacity.
  • Offline grace: Signal cannot currently refresh the lease but may continue only until the server-issued lease expires.
  • License required: no usable device license is available; active production use is blocked.
  • Update required: a mandatory application update must be applied before operation continues.
  • Authorizing: the browser flow or callback is still in progress.
  • Error: authorization or license validation failed; inspect the displayed details and restore the failed prerequisite.

Important: offline grace is not offline LL-TTS. Signal receives server-generated audio and cannot create LL-TTS locally. Network access, valid credentials, event publishing, and LL-TTS entitlement remain necessary.

Verify the workspace

  • The displayed organization and team match the event owner.
  • The state is Licensed, or a deliberately assessed offline-grace window remains valid.
  • The expected event appears when a TTS node refreshes its event list.
  • A test pipeline can start and stop while the workstation is off air.

Troubleshoot

  • If the localhost callback does not complete, keep Signal running, use the same workstation browser, and restart authorization within a fresh 15-minute window.
  • If no event appears, recheck the selected organization and team, network access, event availability, and authorization.
  • If the license is revoked or expired, stop relying on the pipeline and have the license restored by an authorized 4ALL team member.
  • If Update required appears, move to fallback and update off air. Mandatory updates and revoked or expired licenses stop active pipelines.

Security and capacity boundary

A Signal device license is separate from LL-TTS usage and external equipment or labor. A 4ALL team member must validate the workstation, license, and physical I/O capacity; do not infer capacity from a successful sign-in alone.
