Mech-Mind uses CodeMeter from Wibu-Systems as the license system for its software. CodeMeter installer is included in the installation package of the software.

Mech-Mind provides two types of license: trial license and full license.

Trial License

Trial licenses are temporary and are given only when the license dongle cannot be received in time. Once the license dongle is received, please connect it to the IPC and update software license.

If you need to obtain a trial license, please contact Mech-Mind sales team to get a ticket code. (The ticket code is a 25-character string made up of numbers, alphabets, and hyphens.)

Once you get the ticket code, follow the steps below to activate the trial license:

Go to Mech-Mind License WebDepot.
On the Welcome page, copy and paste the ticket code into the Ticket field, and then click Next.
On the page of My Licenses, click Activate Licenses.
On the page of Available Licenses, select the licenses you want to activate and then click Activate Selected Licenses Now.
When the message License transfer completed successfully! appears, click OKbtn:[].

If the license is successfully activated, you will see the license displayed in CodeMeter Control Center.

Full License

Before proceeding, please make sure that

the license dongle you received is plugged into the software running device, and
