The licensing of one or more products can also be done through a license file instead of a license key. You can request this license file from Heidelberg's licensing department. In this case, select the "Import license file" option in the "Select your action" window:
Prerequisite: You already have the license file, and it can be accessed in the system environment of the computer on which the License Manager will run.
Click "Next" to go to the "Import license file" dialog:
Click "Select". A dialog opens where you can go to the folder in which the license file is stored. Select the license file and confirm the selection dialog with "Open".
The import file you selected complete with path now displays after "File path".
The "State" line displays information about the imported license file, e.g. the number of licenses it contains.
More details about the licenses display if you enabled the "Show details for every imported license" option.
Click "License".
Details about the first license display in the next dialog:
Click "Next".
If the license is a floating license, only its details are shown, and there is no further action.
You must assign the license to a workstation if it is a fixed license:
•Select this workstation
Select "Select this workstation" if you run the License Manager on a Prinect application computer where the application that will be licensed is installed.
•Select validated workstation
Enable "Select validated workstation" and select the name of the computer concerned in the list box if you want to license an application that is installed on another computer that is already registered on the License Server.
•Enter a new workstation
Enable "Enter a new workstation" and enter the name of the computer or its IP address in the text box if you want to license an application that is installed on a computer that is not yet registered on the License Server.
•Do not assign license to any workstation
Enable "Do not assign license to any workstation" if the software to be licensed will not yet be assigned to a workstation. You can then assign the license later to a workstation. You can use this option, for example, if you want to license a product that is not yet installed.
Then click "Next".
The "Confirmation of your imported license data" dialog displays after all the licenses in the file have run through this process:
Licensing is concluded when you close the dialog, and the "License Overview" displays.
