dongle 6144 outputs while etc ion 1024 outputs

Question

I've opened my ETC Ion and took out my dongle. Placed it in a Macbook. In the ETC Ion i have 1024 outputs, on a Macbook i have 6144 outputs. How is this possible and why??????

There are some complicated reasons behind the scenes, but Eos always knows which device it is running on, and calculates the licensing based on that device. Many years ago, we moved from licensing in 1k increments to "base" and "unlocked." So your console was purchased at 1024, but your Nomad sees that as "unlocked" and gives you Nomad's maximum capacity. 
 While it will generally function, we do not officially support the removal of the license key from a console to be used on other devices, so this behavior will continue. Enjoy the free additional outputs on your Nomad :)
