Chapter 4 Managing PowerDesigner Licenses


Selecting a license file

When you select the Standalone Seat - Local License option, this page allows you to specify the license file that will be used.


If you already have a license file You can click the Load button and browse to the folder where your license file is located. The content of the license file is automatically displayed in the License key box. You can click Next.

If you do not have a license file You need to download one from the Sybase Product Download Center. As explained in section "Requesting a License from Sybase Product Download Center" you will need to provide either a login and password or a Web key registration to connect to the SPDC site and obtain the license file.

In order to generate the license file, you must specify the host ID and computer name of the computer where you will be running the PowerDesigner license. By default, these boxes are initialized with the current computer identification, however if the downloaded license file is to be used on another machine you must change these default values otherwise the license will not work on this computer.

If the computer has several Ethernet cards or if they are supposed to change, you can use the volume serial number, which is another identification number that you obtain by typing dir c: in a DOS prompt window.
