Ans: The default method to activate a permission key is to assign a permission key to a Graebert Account (using Email ID) and to use the Graebert Account credentials as a login inside IIACAD. Assigning this permission key can be done from the software IIACAD or online on the Graebert Customer Portal. When the user will login in IIACAD the system will need Internet to check the validity of the license on the Graebert servers. After log in the user no longer needs Internet and can work offline for up to 30 days. IIACAD only needs access to the Internet at least once in every 30 days to check the status of the license.
Ans: If the user cannot have Internet access on the computer at least once every 30 days he may decide instead to do an Offline Activation. Offline activation doesn’t require any Internet access on the computer that will be activated. Instead an activation code will be generated by IIACAD on the computer that will be activated and this code has to be entered in the Graebert customer portal to activate the permission key. The offline activation implies that the license will be locked definitely on a single computer but the consequence is also that the user will not be able to log out and easily switch the license from one computer to another. It is therefore recommended to use always the online activation unless the license will be used on a computer that has no access to the Internet (not even once every 30 days). Each license activation requires an individual Email ID. Offline license also requires only the HOSTID of the machine and not the MAC ID/IP Address of the machine.
Ans: Network License of IIACAD requires to install a license server (NLM) on one computer or one server to which all the Flex license users (clients) need to be connected. A minimum of 3 floating licenses is required for a Flex license (no network license of 1 or 2 floating licenses). When a Flex license user is launching IIACAD, the program will check with the license server if any license is available. We require 1 Email Id for activating the network permission key. The NLM license file will be generated based on the Ethernet ID of the server/any computer on the same network.
Ans: Company Admins can also use the Admin space of the Customer Portal to invite, centralize and manage the licenses of their organization. They may for example remove the license for one user and assign it to another user, unless the license was activated for offline use and therefore bound to a specific computer. ADMIN of the Organization will have all the rights to add/remove users from the Organization and the users will need to consult the Admin of an Organization for further information. Individual users of an Organization will have no possibilities of managing a license of IIACAD.
