Transferring an MCL-Designer V4 License |
|
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 replacement.
For instance, if you have activated an MCL-Designer Pro license (with active MCL-Support) and the PC it is installed in malfunctions, you can transfer the license to another PC.
License replacement is not a perpetual service, it can only be performed a limited number of times.
An MCL-Designer Pro license replacement requires two main steps:
•the canceling of the MCL-Designer Pro license in your MCL-License Manager account (to disassociate the license from the PC/server it was installed in).
•the reactivation of the MCL-Designer Pro license (to associate the license to another PC).
License replacement is only available for MCL-Designer Pro licenses with an active MCL-Support service and for a limited number of times.
It is NOT possible to perform the same procedure with MCL-Designer Std licenses.
