Licensing                                              

Access: File / Licensing...

The Licensing dialog box allows you to register your copy of EST-CAD. Having a valid software license allows you to use all features of the program without restriction.

To use the Licensing dialog box, do the following:

• Name of Licensee  Enter the name of the licensee (typically the name of the primary user of EST-CAD, or the company name).

• License Number  Enter the license number you received when you purchased the license (typically the letters AA followed by eight digits).

• Password  Enter the password you received when you purchased the license (typically ten characters long).

Note: Make sure to enter the license number and password exactly as you received them.

• If using the Network Licensing Manager, click the check box above the Name of Licensee field. If licensing EST-CAD on this computer (i.e. using a hardware key), leave this check box blank.

• To license your software, click I Agree.

If the license number and password are valid, the lock icon in the lower right corner will change from a closed lock to an open lock.

Other features in this dialog box include the following:

• To test your license number and password, click Test Password or the lock button. A dialog will appear indicating the duration of your license and the month and year when you registered.

• To test your hardware key, click the key button (just above the lock button). A dialog will appear showing the ID number of your hardware key, as well as the status of the key.

OR

• To bring up the Network License Manager dialog, click the button just above the lock button.

Upon licensing of EST-CAD, this dialog box will no longer appear automatically every time you start up EST-CAD.
