General

 

The Structural Engineering Library Version 6.0 ( SEL ) must be installed on each computer where it will be used. Whether you have individual licenses or a network license the software must reside on the actual computer to be used.

 

When using our installation program you are offered two choices : "Structural Engineering Library" and "Network License Manager".

 

Use the "Structural Engineering Library" selection to install the software on the computers where it will be used.

 

If you have a "network" license (the SEL is available on many computers in your office) you will also be installing the "Network License Manager". Before installing make sure that you need it and have already been given the proper activation code.

 

 

 

 

 

Version 6.0 has a new license security system that "Activates" the software.

 

For users that have a single license this involves a copy & paste of the Product Control Code ( PCC ) into the licensing section of the program and then using an [Internet Activate] button to obtain activation permission from our Internet Activation Server.

 

You can install the software on ANY computer that you may wish to use it on. BUT before you can have it work in "registered" mode you must "Activate" it.

 

This means you can easily move the activation of the software around between all of your computers. You can just use this Internet based activation and deactivation ability to use the software wherever you wish.

 

For network users your Product Control Code only activates the Network License Manager (NLM) (see below). You then install the SEL on all computers where you will use the software. No input of the PCC is needed on those computers....when they launch they simply get permission to run from the Network License Manager.

 

 

Important : Anti-Virus software and Firewalls

 

Our Internet Activation system  (and Web Update also) use the Internet with typical "http over port 80" communications. You must tell your anti-virus and firewall software to allow two of our programs the ability to communicate to the Internet. These program file names are "EC6.exe" and "ec6webupdate.exe" and are in the Program Files\ENERCALC_6 folder.

 

If you do not perform this task then your activation request will not receive a response.

 

There are other methods of manually activating the software if you do not have an Internet Connection. Please see the "For Our Users" page at www.enercalc.com/users.html under "Manual License Activation" and also the last section in this guide.
