MCL-Client License Management > Add an Add-on to an MCL-Client License

Overview

An MCL-Client (perpetual) license includes a defined number of license units to be activated in devices and a Support Service (= access to software updates for a limited period of time + limited number of license unit transfers).

If required, you can extend the Support Service via an Add-on - the add-on is associated to the intended MCL-Client license (= "master license") that has already been registered in your MCL-License Manager account.

The purchased add-on MUST be compatible with the (perpetual) master license you want to associate it to. It must be of the same type (Std or Pro) and it must include the same number of license units. For instance, if the master license is an MCL-Client Pro license with 5 license units, the add-on must also be an MCL-Client Pro add-on with 5 license units. An MCL-Client Pro add-on with 10 license units or an MCL-Client Std add-on with 5 license units will NOT be compatible with that master license.

Feel free to contact MCL Support for more details on the available add-ons for your setup.

After the purchase of an MCL-Client add-on, you receive an email (subject: "Add-on Delivery Notification") with information regarding that product and a link to MCL-License Manager.

Save this email because it contains information that may be used in the add-on addition (ex: the add-on activation code).

It is possible to associate an add-on to a license via the "Registration Link" (link provided by the "Add-on Delivery Notification" email) OR to perform the addition in the "License Activations" page of the target license (= "master license").

See Add-on Addition via Registration Link below and/or Add-on Addition in the "License Activations" Page (MCL-License Manager Account).
