Getting Started with MCL-Designer V4 > How to Start MCL-Designer V4

Overview

There are two MCL license products available - a "standard" MCL-Designer license (MCL-Designer Std) and a "professional" MCL-Designer license (MCL-Designer Pro), each with its own services.

An MCL-Designer Pro license with a currently enabled MCL Support Service provides the additional service of license transfer.

For instance, if you have activated an MCL-Designer Pro license (with active MCL Support Service) and the PC it is installed in malfunctions, you can transfer the license to another PC.

An MCL license transfer requires two main steps:

•the canceling of the MCL-Designer license in your MCL-License Manager account (to dissociate the license from the PC it was installed in).

•the reactivation of the MCL-Designer license (to associate the license to another PC).

License transfer is NOT a perpetual service. It is ONLY available for MCL-Designer Pro licenses with an active MCL Support Service and for a limited number of times.

License Transfer is NOT included in the MCL Support Service for MCL-Designer Std licenses but, if necessary, you can purchase/associate an MCL-Designer Std - Instant Service add-on to your MCL-Designer Std license and execute one (1) license transfer to another PC.

You have ten days to activate a canceled MCL-Designer license in a new PC. The countdown starts as soon as the license is canceled in your MCL-License Manager account.

After this period, the license is permanently deactivated.

If necessary, refer to the MCL-License Manager User Guide for more details on the license transfer operation.
