How to Register a License |
|
Overview
Once you have acquired an MCL license, you must register it in an MCL-License Manager account.
If you do NOT have an account, follow the steps described in Creating an Account in MCL-License Manager. At the end of the corresponding wizard, you can immediately proceed with the registration of your MCL license - Register your License in a Newly Created MCL-License Manager Account.
If you already have an MCL-License Manager account (which can already include MCL product licenses), you can register your present MCL license to the existing account.
It is NOT necessary to create a new MCL-License Manager account every time you purchase an MCL product license - see Register your License in an Existing MCL-License Manager Account.
When you register a license in MCL-License Manager, you are registering a company as the owner of the license.
Each end-user company should have its own MCL-License Manager account.
Once the license is registered to an account, it CANNOT be moved into another account.
Since this is the MCL-Loader User Guide, we are going to focus on the registration of an MCL-Client license. An MCL-Client license consists of a defined number of license units to be activated in devices (ex: an MCL-Client license with 5 units can be distributed per 5 devices).
Details on the registration of other product licenses such as MCL-Net or MCL-Designer (which are also managed by MCL-License Manager), are described in the corresponding user guides.
Refer to the MCL-Net User Guide / MCL-Designer User Guide for more information on their perpetual licenses.
Register your License in a Newly Created MCL-License Manager Account
Make sure your PC is connected to the Internet so you can contact your MCL-License Manager account.
Step-by-step
The page below opens after you have concluded the creation of a new MCL-License Manager account. See Creating an Account in MCL-License Manager.
1. Read the "EULA" document (scroll down the text to activate the "REGISTER" button) and click 
.
The resulting page displays information about the MCL-Client license and your new account.
2. Click 
to conclude. This opens your newly created MCL-License Manager account, in the "Licenses" page.
You will receive an email with the subject: "License Activation" (sent to the email address you defined in the "Licensee Name and Contact Information" section during account creation) validating the recent registration. The email also provides MCL-Client license information (product name, product reference, license number) and a direct link to the MCL-License Manager's login page.
Your MCL-Client license is registered in your MCL-License Manager account and ready for activation - you can now attribute the available license unit(s), included in the license, to your device(s). See How to Activate a Product License in a Device.
Register your License in an Existing MCL-License Manager Account
Make sure your PC is connected to the Internet so you can contact your MCL-License Manager account.
There are two methods available for the registration of your MCL-Client license(s) in an existing MCL-License Manager account:
•Option A - Follow the link ("Registration Link") included in the "License Delivery Notification" email.
Step-by-step
1. Click the link ("Registration Link") provided by the email you receive when purchasing an MCL license (subject: "License Delivery Notification"). If your MCL-License Manager account is already open, you will be redirected to the page below. If not, you are required to log in to your account first.
2. Read the "EULA" terms (scroll down the text to activate the "REGISTER" button) and click
The resulting page displays information about the license and your new account.
3. Click
You will receive an email with the subject "License Activation" (sent to the email address you entered in "Licensee Name's Contact information" section when creating the account) validating the recent registration. The email also provides license information (product name, product reference, license number) and a direct link to the MCL-License Manager's login page.

•Option B - Open your MCL-License Manager account and add a license in the "Licenses" page. This option is useful when you have multiple licenses to add/register in your account.
Step-by-step
1. Enter the URL https://license.mcl4e.com/mclls/licensing/login.html, log in and open the email you received after your MCL license purchase (subject: "License Delivery Notification").
If you have more than one MCL-License Manager account, confirm you are in the right one before proceeding with license registration.
Ex: Your MCL-License Manager account already includes an MCL-Designer V4 license in use/activated.
2. Click
3. Enter the license's number and activation code (the information is in the "License Delivery Notification" email).
4. Read the "EULA" regarding the new MCL license (scroll down to access the text and activate the "REGISTER" button) and click
Ex: The "Licenses" page now includes the activated MCL-Designer license and the newly registered MCL-Client license, which is not in use yet ( = 0 license units in the "Used" column).
At this point, you will receive an email (subject: "License Activation") with the product name, product reference and license number as well as a link ("License administration") to the MCL-License Manager's login page.

The new license was successfully registered and is ready to be installed/activated.
Use MCL-Loader V4 and activate your license in your devices, meaning, to activate one license unit per device.
See How to Activate a Product License in a Device.
Once the MCL-Client license is registered, you can extend MCL Support Service availability by adding an add-on to the intended MCL-Client license (= "master license"). This addition is performed in your MCL-License Manager account. Refer to the MCL-License Manager User Guide for more details on this operation.
If you need help with choosing the appropriate add-on, please contact MCL Support for more information.
As an alternative to MCL-Client activation in a device via MCL-Loader, you can also activate a license unit using your MCL-License Manager account. You can install the configuration file it provides into your device(s) OR you can read the corresponding generated QR code with your device(s).
Refer to the MCL-License Manager User Guide for more details on this type of MCL-Client License Activation
