How can I send a SongShow Plus output to my live stream?
With the release of SongShow Plus (v9.1) a feature called NDI (Network Device Interface) was added. This allows you to send a “virtual” output of SSP to another piece of software installed on the same computer. Another option would be to send a signal to another computer or camera switcher connected to the same network. This is a great solution for those using streaming software like OBS, vMix, or Wirecast. For more detailed information please contact our sales department at 877-458-6367.
Why is SongShow Plus asking me to activate my license after doing upgrades on my computer?
When SSP is licensed it will only work with that specific computer. Significant changes or upgrades can cause SSP to think you have a different computer. To prevent this from being an issue we recommend deactivating your SSP license before doing any upgrades to your hardware or to Windows. This will allow you to reactivate SSP afterward using the online activation process. You can deactivate your SSP license in SSP8 by clicking Tools> Activation or in SSP9 by clicking License.
My image backgrounds are showing up as black, why is that?
When presenting images in SSP, whether as an item in a program or slideshow, or as a background, the resolution should be at or less than 1920 x 1080. For additional information please click the link below to read more.
SongShow Plus says I need to reactivate but it’s not working. What do I do?

When you purchase SongShow Plus you will automatically receive one projection license and unlimited workstations. Our definition of a workstation is a non-projection computer, like a staff office computer or a volunteer’s laptop. This license allows a user to build SSP programs and then transfer their work to a projection computer. An additional single projection license for another computer can be purchased under the church’s account at a discounted rate. This could be a computer in a Youth area or a laptop for off-campus events. We also offer a site license which gives your church unlimited projection licenses. You can view our licensing options here.
My church has an older version of SongShow Plus. Do we have to buy a new copy to upgrade?
No. If you already have a SongShow Plus account and would to upgrade from an older version we offer upgrade options. This not only saves your church money, but it also allows you to keep any plugins, collections, or projection licenses that you have purchased with your existing account.
If I move to a new church can I take SongShow Plus with me?
Each SSP account is licensed to an organization, not an individual. As a result, SSP accounts cannot be given, traded or sold to any other organization. If you would like to use SSP at your new church they will need to purchase their own SSP license.
Do I have to purchase SongShow Plus from the computer I will be using for SSP presentations?
No. You can purchase SSP, or any other related plugins, collections or upgrades, from any computer. Once we have received your payment we will email instructions on how you can download and activate your newly purchased product.
