Displays and updates program license information.
This function opens the GLS License Status form for program license display and update.
The top box shows information on the current license, such as type, and the various expiry times and dates.
When the Maintenance Expires, you cannot run any software release beyond that period.
When the Subscription Expires (if applicable), you cannot run any software release beyond that period.
When the Temporary Lease expires, you need to have an active internet connection again, to renew your lease. The temporary lease is normally 30 days.
Most of the other buttons and tick-boxes on the form are normally only to be interacted with when directed so by GLS.
•The Update License Code button allows you to update or change a License Code
•The Update Registration Info button allows the user to update or change the Registration Information.
•The Hold Concurrent License tick-box is only applicable where you have a concurrent (floating) license, and you would like hold or reserve it for yourself. When ticked and after exiting the program, another user in your office can then not use your license until you have unticked the option again and exited the program. By ticking the option, you also ensure that you have offline access to the software for up to 30 days. This is important to perform if you intend using the program offline from an internet connection, for example on most airplanes. The setting is remembered between sessions of the program.
•Delete License Permanently allows you to remove your license permanently from your computer and the licensing server. Do this, if you want to move your license to a new computer.
Offline activation is required when you do not have an internet connection to activate the software.
