Moving a license using the Internet

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Moving a license can be accomplished via the Internet, simply by returning the license from the original computer, and then installing Orca3D on the new computer and activating it. When you return the license, our license server records that fact, and will allow another activation to take place.

 

To access this function you will need to run the “Internet De-Activate” Utility in the License Manager. The License Manager Utility may  be started from the Orca3D menu in Rhino, or by clicking on the Windows START button, then selecting the License Manager from the Orca3D menu.

 

Note: Do NOT use "Remove License," as this will permanently kill your license.

 

 

This function will allow you ‘store’ your license for future use or when you wish to move to another PC. You re-enter your License Number in the field and click the “De-Activate button. Once you have done this you can then re-use the same number in a new installation, using any of the Activation options. The PC which you have used this function on will now no longer be licensed.

 

 

When you have returned a license successfully you get the above screen.

 

Your “license number” will be saved locally and will appear in the license number box should you wish to re-activate on this PC.

 

If you now wish to move Orca3D to a new PC, just simply install it on the new computer and re-use the license number you have ‘returned’ to the server and go through the activation process again.
