Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use VX Manager 162 on macOS? A: Not natively. But you can run it via Wine (slow, unstable) or Parallels Desktop (Windows 10 ARM VM). Better to keep an old Windows laptop dedicated to AV management.

Q: Does v162 support 4K HDR? A: No. It treats HDR metadata as unknown EDID blocks. You will get SDR output. For HDR, you need a 2020+ matrix and newer software.

Q: My matrix is bricked after a failed update. Can VX Manager revive it? A: Possibly. Use the "Recovery Mode" – hold the matrix’s reset button while powering on, then flash the original firmware from v162’s Firmware/ folder. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: Can I use

Q: Is there a portable version of VX Manager 162? A: No official portable version, but you can install it to a USB stick and run it from any PC if you copy the registry keys (look up "VMware ThinApp" repack).

Q: The software asks for a "License Key" – what now? A: You downloaded a different OEM’s locked build. Delete it and find the true freeware release (look for filenames containing "Free_Edition" or "Public").

Fix: Run VX Manager in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode. Right-click shortcut → Properties → Compatibility → Windows 7 → Run as Admin.
