    If the license file "*.cnsldb" is not listed or you have received a new license file that you would like to add to the list:

    • Click on the button Add file.... [Add file...]

      -> A browser window opens to select additional license files (*.cnsldb).

    • Search for the location of the file in the system.

    • Open the license file.

    --> The file is now entered in the license management.

    [Note]Note

    Remove file [Remove file(s)] (s): ... deletes the selected file(s).

    This not only removes the entry in the license management, but also the corresponding *.cnsldb file in the lic / keys directory of your PARTsolutions installation. However, you can restore this from the backup file *.bak in an emergency. Simply rename the license file back to *.cnsldb.

  3. Select the license file [License file] in the dialog area at the top right.

    Select the line of the desired licensed product

    --> The individual license keys [License key] with expiration date [Expiration date] and status [Status] are listed.

  4. Check whether the hostid [Host ID] of the license (bottom right) matches one of the hostids [Host ID] displayed above (see Fig. „Licenses“).

  5. For the license for the respective module (PARTdataManager etc.) to take effect, Status must be set to OK (or Expires ) must be set.

    If this is the case, the licensing was successful.

    Possible status messages are:

    • OK

    • Newer entry available [Newer entry exists]

    • Valid for other computers [Valid for other computer]

    • Expires

      Although the license is currently still valid, you should take care of a follow-up license.

    • Expired

  6. To complete the process, click on the Save changes button! (If not already done when importing the licenses)

    --> PARTsolutions is now "ready for operation".
