Update Software License¶
CodeMeter will notify you if your license(s) is about to expire. In such case, please contact Mech-Mind Technical Support to request an update.
Once the update has been arranged, you’ll need to export a license request file to send to Mech-Mind first. Then, Mech-Mind will send back a license update file that extends the duration of your license.
