Getting Started with MCL-Net v4 > How to Install/Activate MCL-Net v4

Overview

There are two MCL license products available - a "standard" MCL-Net license (MCL-Net Std) and a "professional" MCL-Net license (MCL-Net Pro), each with its own services.

An MCL-Net Pro license with a currently enabled MCL Support Service provides the additional service of license replacement.

For instance, if the PC/server you have installed/activated an MCL-Net Pro license (with an active MCL Support Service) malfunctions, you can transfer the license to another PC/server.

An MCL-Net Pro license replacement requires:

•the canceling of the MCL-Net Pro license in your MCL-License Manager account (to disassociate the license from the PC/server it was installed in).

•the reactivation of the MCL-Net Pro license (to install/activate the license in another PC/server).

License Transfer is NOT a perpetual service. It is ONLY available for MCL-Net Pro licenses with an active MCL Support Service and for a limited number of times.

License Transfer is NOT included in the MCL Support Service for MCL-Net Std licenses but, if necessary, you can purchase/associate an MCL-Net Std - Instant Service add-on to your MCL-Net Std license and execute one (1) license transfer to another PC/server.

You have ten days to activate a canceled MCL-Net license in a new PC/server. The countdown starts as soon as the license is canceled in MCL-License Manager.

After this period, the license is permanently deactivated.
