Legacy SpaceClaim Licensing

Switching to a Different License Type

Click New License to reconfigure the SpaceClaim license.

Your Windows login must be set up as an administrator.

Reconfiguring allows you to change from an evaluation to a customer license.

Flex Licensing

If flex licensing is available for you, your license is stored on a server. You can check out a flex license on a specific computer, and then go off the network and continue to use the borrowed license. You borrow the license for a specified period of time, after which it is returned to the server on the date and time you specify.

Borrowing the License

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Check Specific Borrow Length and enter the number of days you want to borrow the license.

      The maximum number of days is determined when SpaceClaim is purchased.

    • Check Specify return date/time and enter the exact date and time.

      Use this option if the borrow time is shorter than one day.

  2. Select the Translator licenses to borrow.

  3. Click Borrow License.

    When the license if successfully borrowed, Borrow License is disabled (grayed out) and title bar shows the expiration date or the time remaining.

Returning the License

Click Return License and click OK. Restart SpaceClaim to complete the return.

Node-locked Licensing

A node-locked license is intended to prevent unauthorized (repeated) use of the SpaceClaim application, and requires that a serial number only works on a single machine. In SpaceClaim, node-locked licenses can include, for example, Data Exchange Package I, Data Exchange Package II, JT Open, TraceParts, and CATIA V5.

To use the same serial number on another machine, you must first deactivate the license on the first machine. To do this, select the Deactivate License button in the License Options dialog box. The Deactivate License button displays only if you have a node-locked serial number license, and is not visible to Flex customers, or most serial number customers.
