Should You Licence Using a Server?
All machines can be used as a licence server for Hexagon Products, as the licencing administrator program will manage the licences for you. It is beneficial to licence using a server when you wish to share a few licences over many machines.
In general, you should use the online activation code. However, if you require offline licences it is recommended to pick a stable machine as offline licenses are hardware based, so may not work after hardware changes.
Create and Manage Licenses
Log onto the licencing portal.
How to create a license?
- Click Create
- Click Next. There is an option to create Offline Licences if required but we recommend that online licences are created as these are most appropriate for most users.
3. Enter the desired Version and creation quantity (number of seats) next to the license types you wish to activate.. (Optional) Enter a contact name by selecting from the pull-down or create a new contact by entering First Name, Last Name and Email Address into the Create New Contact dialogue. This is a useful way to track your licences.
4. Click next (you may need to scroll down)
5. Click Create Licences if you are happy with your selection
6. Now the licence is ready to be generated. Copy the activation code ready to apply in the licensing software (Geospatial Licensing Administration).

For Offline licences with the same Host ID can be consolidated into one .lic file:
Select multiple check-boxes beside offline licences. All selected licences will need to have the same Host ID number.
