The Structural Engineering Library is shipped to operate in "Demonstration" mode when first installed. This enables the product to be distributed, downloaded, and copied for review purposes without the need to purchase a license.

 

When in "Demonstration Mode" a window appears every 4 minutes reminding you that you are using a demo. In addition, all printouts have "Unlicensed Demo / Not For Commercial Use" written in the background to deter "real" usage.

 

License users are given a "Product Activation Code" to enter into the program. This password contains your User Registration Number and the number of simultaneous license usage allowed.

 

After first installation you will see this screen:

 

 

Licensed users should select the top button "Let me enter my Product Activation Code (PAC)". This will display the following screen:

 

 

Refer to the installation instruction given earlier on about this question.

 

After pressing [Close] you will be taken to the screen where you can enter your PAC :

 

 

NOTE: You can display this window at any time by selecting "User Information" from the main menu or pressing the [Tolls & Settings] button and selecting "User Information.

 

This entry is where you can enter your Product Activation Code (PAC).  Your code is a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and the "@" and "+" symbol.  We have eliminated capital "O"'s and zeros to reduce any confusion about the PAC. Your PAC will be between 12 and 15 characters.....the actual number is based on the encryption algorithm used to create it.

 

After entering all characters either press the [Tab] key or the [Save] button. If it is entered correctly the screen will change and you will see a registration information screen as follows (your user registration number and license count will be different) :

 

 

If You Purchase Additional Licenses

If you purchase additional licenses you will be issued a new PAC. In that case you will press the [Enter New PAC] button and the following screen will be displayed:

 

 

This screen allows you to enter the new PAC. Press [Save] to save it or [Lease Old] to exit this screen without changing your PAC.

 

NOTE: The Product Activation Code is NOT AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING AFTER IT IS ENTERED. Keep your ENERCALC supplied material with your PAC in a known and safe place. DO NOT GIVE IT TO OTHERS TO USE as that is a violation of your Software License Agreement and immediately voids your license.
