YOUR CENTRAL CONTROL POINT
Bring it together in Launchpad.
Launchpad is the central focus for managing the applications on your computer. Choose the tools your account permits, launch the workspace you need and keep the station ready for the next event.
Explore Launchpad →Install & maintain
Install entitled applications, renew their licenses and manage updates or removal through administrator controls.
Launch & switch
Open your event tools from one application menu, with desktop and kiosk options for compatible apps.
Manage station access
Use station locking and saved application assignments to prepare a shared computer for its role.
Sports Hub connects the account, subscription and permitted event information. Launchpad manages the local application station and renews app licenses before launch. Each application verifies its own access and provides its own operating workspace.
BEFORE YOU START
A setup that fits your job.
Compatible reader and event format. The release is a local prototype, not hardware-certified timing software; validate the complete race setup before competition.
Start in Launchpad to install, launch and maintain this application as part of your station. Check this application’s installer instructions for any additional setup. Sports Hub provides account access, shared event information and publishing configuration where the app uses them.

CHOOSING YOUR TOOLS
A few things to know.
Start with the application that fits your job, then check its setup needs and plan access.
How do I install an application?
Start with Launchpad, the central control point for installing, launching and maintaining entitled applications. Follow the application’s own installer instructions for any additional setup. Check its requirements for additional runtimes, devices or production software.
Does my plan include every application?
Included applications vary by subscription. Event, team, course and facility permissions also determine which records and actions you can access.
Compare available plans →How do application updates work?
Applications have their own versions. Site administrators choose the public current release in Sports Hub, and Launchpad provides administrator update controls for installed applications.
How is application access checked?
Each application checks its own renewable Sports Hub license when it starts. Launchpad activates installed apps and checks or renews their licenses before launch. Licenses last up to seven days by default and require an account with access to that app. A Hub connection is required for launch verification and renewal.
