MCL-License Manager Account

Overview

An MCL-License Manager account includes 2 pages - "Licenses" and "License Activations" pages.

The "Licenses" page provides details on each MCL license.

The information about the units of a specific MCL license is displayed in the selected license's "License Activations" page.

See The "Licenses" Page below and The "License Activations" Page for details on each page.

The "Licenses" Page

This is your MCL-License Manager account's main page. It opens after you log in.

The "Licenses" page is divided into 3 main sections - a section with a table that lists the registered licenses, a section about the account's licensee and another one for the latest activities executed within the account.

Table section

Status	Provides the current status of the corresponding MCL license through symbols. Ex: - registered.
License Number	The number of the license.
Product	The name of the MCL product associated to the license.
Version	The version of the license.
Part Number	The part number of the license.
Part Name	The name of the license.
Used	The number of used license units included in the license.
Total	The total number of license units included in the license.
Registration	When the corresponding license was registered in your MCL-License Manager account.
Support Expiration Date	ONLY applies to licenses with included active MCL Support Service (MCL Support Service = software updates available for a limited period of time + limited number of license transfers). The expiration date for the contracted MCL Support Service plus a countdown with the number of days left til the expiration date.

If required, use the buttons to expand/reduce the displayed licenses within the page. Select the intended button to define the display to up to 10, 20, 50 or 100 items.

This page also includes a search box so you can look for the intended license. You can use the structured format of the license number (ex: 1234-5678-9123-456-78) or the flat format (ex: 12345678912345678).

Last Activities section

Available Options

This button (above the Table section) is used to add/register MCL licenses to the current MCL-License Manager account. It is a registration alternative to the direct link that is provided by email after purchasing an MCL license - it is particularly useful if you have several licenses to register. See Register your License in an Existing MCL-License Manager Account.

The "License Activations" Page

To access the "License Activations" page of a specific license, click its number in the "Licenses" page (license number is displayed in blue).

The resulting "License Activations" page includes information on the selected license, the units that are in use, and a few license related options.

The page is divided into a table that lists the license units that have been activated, a section with information on the selected license (and any potential add-ons) and a header with several buttons representing license unit related operations.

Table section

Status

Provides the current status of the corresponding license unit.

Serial Number

This serial number, which represents the device that has an activated license unit, is calculated by MCL-Client.

ESN

The manufacturer's Electronic Serial Number of the device that has the activated license unit.

Some of the more recent Android devices do not share their Manufacturer Serial Number with MCL-Client.

To bypass this potential information loss, you can use the "User Tag 1/2/3" columns to, manually, add the device's ESN.

Model

The model of the device with the activated license unit.

Name

The name of the device with the activated license unit.

Instance

The license's instance.

Activation

The date/time of the license unit activation in a device/PC/server.

User Tag 1

The displayed content is provided manually by any user with access to the MCL-License Manager account. You can use these fields to add relevant information on the corresponding license unit or the device it was activated in (via the "Edit" button in the "Actions" column).

Ex: Some of the more recent Android devices do not share their Manufacturer Serial Number with MCL-Client so, you can use these fields to enter that information.

User Tag 2

User Tag 3

Actions

Includes a button that, when clicked, opens a pop-up window where you can edit the corresponding "User Tag":

Enter the indented notes/info in the corresponding input field and click to save your edition/close the pop-up window.

Use to abort the editing and close the pop-up window.

If required, use the buttons to expand/reduce the license unit display. Select the intended button to define the display to up to 10, 20, 50 or 100 items.

You can use the search box to find the intended license unit. Enter the name or the serial number of the device with an active license unit associated to it. The search returns active (and expired) license(s) associated to the device.

The following buttons are available in the header of the "License Activations" page:

Use this button to add an add-on to the current license.

See Add an Add-on to an MCL-Client License, Add-on Addition to an MCL-Net License, Add an Add-on to an MCL-Designer License.

This button ONLY applies to MCL-Net licenses. It is used to download an MCL-Net license file that will be used in 2 specific operations - to add an MCL-Net add-on to an MCL-Net master license or to execute an offline MCL-Net activation. See Add-on Addition to an MCL-Net License and/or Offline MCL-Net License Activation.

Use this option to cancel the selected license unit. As a result, the license unit is disassociated from the physical equipment it was activated on.

License cancellation is the first step for a license transfer. See Transfer an MCL-Client License Unit to Another Device, MCL-Net License Transfer, Transfer an MCL-Designer License.

This button ONLY applies to MCL-Client licenses. It is used to activate MCL-Client license units in devices.

It is possible to activate the license unit via a QR code (to be read by the target device) or via a file (to be installed in the target device). See Activate an MCL License Unit in a Device.

As an alternative, you can use our tool MCL-Loader to activate an MCL-Client license unit in a target device. Refer to the MCL-Loader User Guide for more details.
