Licensing

This Help segment will introduce you to the licensing requirements, and help guide you through the necessary steps required for successful registration of this product.  This product must be properly licensed in order for it to run.  It requires that a valid license be located in the root of the install directory (the directory to which the program was installed).  Note that if the license to which it is tied is ever removed from the root directory, the program will no longer run.  The methods you can use to register this product are described in detail under Methods.

License Types

In order to license your product properly, it will be important to understand the three available license types, explained below:

Workstation License

A Workstation License is a standalone license that is tied to a specific hardware device on the machine to which CADKEY Workshop 20 has been installed.  Once generated, the license will carry hardware-specific information that will only allow the product to be run on that particular workstation.

Floating License

A Floating License (previously referred to as a "Network License"), require that a machine be designated as the server, or central licensing point, for all of the licenses being distributed to client machines (machines on which Workshop can be installed and run, using a license accessed from the server).  The server machine will need to run a "daemon;" a program that authorizes licenses to other (client) machines.  The deamon must be running in order for licenses to be served.  If for some reason the daemon is terminated, or if the server machine goes down, none of the client machines will be able to run the program. In such instances, users will be warned that their licenses could no longer be verified.

Temporary License

Depending upon how your product was purchased, you may receive a temporary license with the product.  A Temporary License will expire on a specific date and you are able to run the product from this license until its expiration date is reached.  The expiration date can be found under Help>About while the temporary license is in use.


Key Terms

In addition to becoming familiar with the license types, it will be important to know the following key terms regarding licensing.

Account Number	This is a unique customer number distributed by CADKEY Corporation, and is required for registration of your product.  This number (format: XXXXX-XXXXX) can be found on the product when delivered.

Daemon	The program needed to authorize licenses to client workstations (Floating License only).

Feature	The product specified in the license file.

Hardware ID	Device-specific information used to lock a license file to a particular machine.

License File	An ASCII text file, comprised of one or more "feature" lines, and hardware specific information.  A valid license file must be placed in the root of the install directory in order for the product to run.


Methods

The methods explained below can be used to register this product.  Note that you are able to obtain registration at any time, but that the temporary license provided with the product is dated, and will expire on the date displayed in Help>About.

During Install

This method allows you to register the product at the end of the install procedure, and is the suggested method of registration.  Once the product has been successfully installed, a dialog prompt is displayed that allows you the option to register the product, or wait and register later.  Select YES to continue with this method, and configure the settings contained in the "Registering Your CADKEY Product" dialog that will appear.  The settings in this dialog are explained below.  Once a license file has been generated, place it in the root of the CADKEY Workshop 20 install directory.
