The Activation Wizard can provide a second function to account for situations where you may need to work outside a regular network, but still need access to a product, it is possible to Reserve a License to allow offline work. This ensures that your organisation accounts for the use and does not result in tripping over a threshold of licenses. This is similar to the ‘Checkout license’ that was available with SELECT Licensing.
To reserve a license use the Activation wizard, but use the option ‘Reserve a License’ on the screen presented:-
Click next and complete the following screens to have all the licenses you will require over the period they will be required. Note that this period will be considered as continuous usage or until the license are relinquished.
Note a similar facility exists in the License Management Tool and either method can be used.
In normal operation, users are recommended to use the built-in Microstran Licensing Dialog to access the "check-out" only design codes:
- AS/NZS 3404
- AS 4600
- NZS 3404
This dialogue automatically manages the "check-out" and "check-in" upon closing Microstran on your behalf
