MCL-Net v4 Installation/Activation (License) |
|
Overview
A license is a perpetual license, meaning, it only requires a one time activation and does not have a renewal/expiration date. You will register/manage your MCL-Net v4 license(s) in an MCL-License Manager account.
MCL-License Manager: a cloud-based platform that allows you to manage your MCL product (perpetual) license(s).
It provides information regarding your registered licenses. In the case of MCL-Net licenses, you will be able to view information concerning the PC that contains the MCL-Net v4 application (ex: serial number, model, etc.) and MCL-Net license details (ex: product part number, registration date, current license status, etc.).
This platform requires the creation of an account where you will register your MCL-Net license(s).
Each time an MCL-Net license is acquired, you will receive an email (subject: "License Delivery Notification") with license details and a link to the MCL-License Manager so you can register that license ("Registration Link").
If you already have an MCL-License Manager account, you can use it to register your MCL-Net license(s). See Register your MCL-Net License(s) in an Existing MCL-License Manager Account.
If you are already logged in to an MCL-License Manager account when you click the email's "Registration Link", you will immediately be redirected to that MCL-License Manager account. Before proceeding with license registration, verify if you are in the right MCL-License Manager account.
If you need to create an MCL-License Manager account, see To Create an Account in MCL-License Manager below.
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.
Once you have registered your MCL-Net license in your MCL-License Manager account, you will be ready to install MCL-Net in a PC and activate the corresponding license.
The MCL-Net v4's installation and corresponding license activation is a simultaneous process.
