Licence Manager

You cannot run the application without a valid licence. If a licence is not detected, the application will fail to load and you will be given the opportunity to either activate a new licence, or locate a licence on your network.

You can also select an option to manage your licences once the application is loaded:

Click the Project tab to open the backstage menu and select Licence | Licence Manager to view your licence availability at any time. If you are an administrator, or you have been instructed to do so by Micromine Licensing, you can create and update one or more licence configurations.

A licence configuration is a set of features that can be tied to a licence. The specification of different licence configurations means that different users may be allocated only the modules they need.

The default (current) licence configuration is indicated by a check box which is selected to the left of the configuration name. To make a configuration the default configuration, select a different check box.

Alternatively: Click the Project tab to open the backstage menu and select Licence | Switch Licence to switch the active licence configuration.

To create a new licence configuration, see: Create New Configuration

Local Licences

Use the Local Licences tab of the Licence Manager to manage the local licences that have been registered for use at your workplace. When you select a licence in the grid, the details of the licence are shown:

If you are installing 2023.5 for the first time, or you have upgraded an existing licence, or have been issued with an additional licence, you will need to activate your local licence, using either the node-locked activation code or the USB security key (dongle) supplied to you by Micromine Licensing.

To activate your local licence, see: Local Licences

Network Licences

Provided you are currently connected to a network licence server, network licences and features and their availability are shown on the Network Licences tab of the Licence Manager.

Click on a network licence to view the details of that licence.

Micromine's network licence server allows you to temporarily borrow a network licence without a security key (dongle) or a persistent network connection.

To borrow a network licence, see: Borrow Licence
