Step-by-step

1. Click "Registration Link" in the email you receive when purchasing an MCL-Designer add-on (subject: "Add-on Delivery Notification").

If your MCL-License Manager account is already open when you click the link, you will, immediately, be redirected to the page below. If not, you are required to log in to your account first.

If you only have one compatible registered license, the add-on will, automatically, be associated to that license:

a. Click or wait for the countdown to end. This opens your MCL-License Manager account, in the "Licenses" page. You can skip to step 6.

2. Select the license that will include the new add-on from the drop-down. The drop-down only displays licenses that are compatible with the new add-on (ex: an "MCL-Designer Std" type add-on can only be added to an "MCL-Designer Std" type license).

3. Read the "EULA" document regarding the new MCL-Designer add-on (scroll down to access the text and activate the button).

If required, click to print the "EULA" document.

4. Click . (This button only activates after you have scrolled down the "EULA" document.)

At this point, you receive an email (subject: "Add-on Activation") with the product name, product reference, add-on number and the master license number as well as a link ("License administration") to access MCL-License Manager.

5. The page displays add-on and company/licensee details. Click to open the "Licenses" page or wait for the countdown to end (in the "OK" button).

Ex: The add-on consisted of 1 year MCL Support Service. This time extension was added to the initial 90 days of MCL Support Service availability contained in the master license.

6. Click the number of the previously selected master license, displayed in light blue, to open the corresponding "License Activations" page.

The add-on details are displayed in the left panel, in the "Add-ons" section.

You can link an add-on to a license that is registered in your MCL-License Manager account but has not been activated in a PC yet. The view of the inactive license's "License Activations" page is different. It only displays license/add-on related information in the left panel. The table, which is supposed to display information on the PC that has MCL-Designer installed, is empty.

If you have associated your add-on to an inactive license, you can wait for the master license to be activated in a PC before performing the next steps.

7. Check MCL-Designer license's .

8. Click to download the updated license file.
