[NFBMT] NLS BARD authorizing the Humanware Victor Reader Stream 3

[Rik James]

Hello Montana Federationists.
I hope you are all well, healthy, and staying safe from whatever may threaten that particular well being.

News from me here in Bozeman, on the techy nerd side.
I could not seem to wait, and hold my horses steady, before purchasing the new version of the Humanware Victor Reader Stream 3.
It arrived exactly one week from date of purchase. So far, so good. But there are bugs, which I am confident and hopeful will be fixed in next several months of software updates. Yet, even so, quite a remarkable device with features I am pleased with thus far.

Getting the NLS BARD set up on the device.
Most may already know this. But it had been awhile for me. 
So, just to be helpful to anyone else, here are my notes on the process.

To Authorize a new player, you must submit the request, and wait for reply from your Talking Book Library.
NLS needs verification from Humanware of your identity. So you give Bard the license key, and they verify with Humanware.
Go to:  https://nlsbard.loc.gov/nlsbardprod/mainpage
The Process is: 
Find your new device's Serian Number. You will need it for sure.

Customer and NLS patron needs to fill out and submit form on BARD website, after proper log in. 
The request is sent to your local BARD. 
They communicate with Humanware with your request and serial number. 
Wait for email response from BARD. 
Then after proper authorization is granted, watch for an email response from Humanware. 
An email will be sent to patron from Humanware, with detailed license key installation instructions.
