We’re excited to announce Phoenix Pro Season Pass - a way to license your devices for the season with a single license purchase.
Also, some bonus free licenses for off-season purchases so anyone wanting Phoenix Pro for 2024 can get up and running right away!
See our full blog post for details:
Are there higher tiers of the season pass that will give me unlimited soft drinks and preferred parking?
Sadly no, but if someone can figure out how to do a tier that provides unlimited corndogs I’m all ears.
What was reasoning behind calling it a “season pass” over something cooler, maybe like “Battle Pass”?
Can’t wait for them to announce loot boxes.
sorry I guess they are called:
- The licensed device is used on a roboRIO configured for one of the reserved “Off-Season Demo” team numbers (currently team numbers 9970 - 9999)
What happens if you aren’t assigned one of those numbers for your offseason event?
I’m sure if you call and explain the situation to CTR they’ll be more than happy to work with you.
At least I could try to guess the reason why it don’t call it Phoenix Pro Max Season Pass LoL. Anyway still love Phoenix, take my money pls.
Is the “roboRIO configured for the team number” via the roboRIO Imaging Tool configuration? Or is there a separate configuration to set the CTRE team number?
Also, how does the authentication process work now? If the license is now for the whole roboRIO instead of individual Falcons I’d imagine that simplifies the process a fair bit
Jokes aside, this is a great change. I’m curious how authentication works but assuming it’s reliable, this is a great deal for teams in the CTRE ecosystem.
If your off-season event is using FMS Sync to push live results to FRC.events, it will for sure. That’s part of the deal events agree to.
If they aren’t doing that, ask nicely?

Much better licensing structure than last year, thank you for this.
Yep! No extra team-specific configuration is required beyond what you normally do to set up your control system.
Unfortunately we still don’t have a good way to hardware-license an entire roboRIO - the licenses do still need to be activated per-device, but now you only need a single license purchase for the season to allow the activations.
Is there a tier to get access to CTRE Premier lounges at competition?
Congrats
Ow. Ow. The puns. They burn. Ow.
Want to make sure I’m understanding correctly. If we have a competition robot and a practice robot that we may want to run at the same time (so 2 team numbers), is this two (2) season passes – one for each team number – or can the practice robot utilize one of the demo numbers (9970 - 9999) so we would need 1 season pass as it would support both our team number and a demo number at the same time?
In this scenario (a comp robot and a practice robot running at the same time) you would only need one season pass, assigned to your regular team number.
Devices licensed from that season pass would work with both the regular robot and the robot utilizing one of the demo numbers.
It would be great if we could upgrade our Post Championships $100 license purchase to a 2024 Season Pass (which comes with 2023 retro licenses anyway). Happy to send CTR the $50.
