Avoiding Key Disasters

[Ryan Gallagher]

For any curious, now that I've added last 5 of UUID column to our track sheet. I was able to confirm from home our next key is at least for the DCP we were shipped. KDMInspector doesn't expose server ID number, but I can probably commit to memory our public key and avoid having to dig in the XML.

The Deluxe online portal was the answer to my prayers, and made it easier for me to
check content & key compatibility somewhat in advance of arrival.

See yeah I feel like that would help. Our TD promised me a login to it when I first started, but maybe it was more difficult than he expected to add a user. I need to remind him about the offer I expect.

But generally familiarity with CPLs and KDMs is a must for sure. We just were not in the habit of recording the CPL unique identifiers in our sheet that was accessible remotely. And without the deluxe portal at my fingertips, and no VPN solution configured, it was a recipe for an eventual catastrophe needing an emergency key that would not arrive promptly (which we narrowly avoided).
