Crestron Software Torrent

Just as the title says. How the heck do you get Crestron's programing software? I have setup an account with them, sent e-mails, and tried calling. I need to get access to it for the school i work at. We need to upgrade some of our projectors in our crestron controlled rooms as the new projectors won't be able to be controlled without changing/upgrading the programing. I would love to have the chance to see if I can learn it to save my college the $$$ to do it as we are in a huge budget hole for the forseeable future. Any one have a suggestion on how to get it or apply/buy it?

Thanks for any help you can provide. Crestron software is restricted to the following. 1) Dealers 2) CAIPS 3) A+ Educational Partners Since you are an educational institution you would fall under #3, A+ Partner.

The previous guy never touched anything and just called a vendor to do everything. I'd like to be able to do some stuff, but I can't find a link on Crestron's site to download the Crestron Toolbox. Seems you have to be a partner or reseller to get it. Anybody know where/how to get the Crestron Toolbox software? What is Crestron Toolbox Application? Crestron Toolbox is a diagnostics and maintenance program for Crestron device systems and Cresnet networks. The software is capable of running several administrative system maintenance operations, from network ID.

You need to apply as a A+ Partner, it not automatic, and you need to work with a Crestron dealer. It would actually be easier for you to go through your current Crestron dealer and have them sponsor your school. As a Crestron dealer myself, I can sponsor/send anyone to Crestron training or give them access to software. Talk to your Crestron dealer and ask them.

Do all of that, and you get to see heartbroken hero James Sunderland fall to his knees in horror as he discovers what's behind his recurring nightmare.

Well this is too bad. The installer/dealer that we had worked on this and past projects has really boned us. They don't have a policy of giving copies of the programing to us and have erased past installs because the felt they wouldn't need them again. They won't be willing to get us signed up as a partner as they have us on a hook for any the work that we need to do. It isn't a good situation for us but my bosses don't seem to want to deal with it other than paying out and complaining.

How much does it cost for a Crestron Dealer to sponsor a school? I might convince a Dept chair to come up with the money to pay our dealer to get us signed up. Puts me on the hook for trying to figure it out i guess but it may be better than nothing. Thanks for your help and answers. Have a good one!

It does not cost the dealer anything. It's up to the dealer if they want to sponsor the client. We have a set of criteria a client has to meet in order for us to sponsor them.

Every dealer is different as to if they will sponsor a client, how they go about doing it and what criteria a client has to meet. Hope that helps. Yes.contact your Crestron rep. See if he can get you in touch with another dealer.

If the software is not available, you're starting all over again. From a timing perspective, you'll need to use an experienced Crestron programmer to get you up and running. Now that you have a working system, get sponsored so the school can move forward. If the school has a VPN, your 'new' dealer need not be local. As you develop the in-house expertise, that sponsoring dealer can be a mentoring resource (usually not for free but certainly not overly expensive either). Getting someone to come to Fargo in the winter. That's another issue.
