Licensing

Activation and updating software are performed in two different ways, depending on the kind of license.

USB (hardware) LICENSE

The Reconstructor® license is stored in a USB hardware key (dongle).
A USB license permits to move the dongle between several computers on which the software is installed. 

COMPUTER BASED (digital) LICENSE

The Reconstructor® digital license key is closely linked to the computer used to generate the activation request file.



The first activation and the updating of a Reconstructor® license follow the same procedure:

Step 1 - Generating a .c2v file (to forward to Gexcel)

Step 2 -  Applying a .v2c file (got forward Gexcel)

USB LICENSE


If you have a Reconstructor® USB dongle, how can you activate/update a license on it?


First of all, remember that each dongle is identified by its own ID, written on a label (see in the image GX0000 as example).

Please use this code when communicating with Gexcel.

 

Step 1 - Request

  1. Plug in the USB dongle
  2. Open Reconstructor® and select Help → License Manager in order to create a .c2v request file.
  3. Click on Generate license activation request (C2V).
  4. Choose the type of license key: → USB license key (1 found)
    The USB dongle is found, checked, and used to generate the request file .c2v.
  5. Type the desired file name (for example YYYY.MM.DD_DongleID_CompanyName) and Save the .c2v file.
  6. Send the .c2v file by e-mail to license@gexcel.it , with your name/Company name and the content of the request.


Generating the activation file is possible from any PC.


Step 2 - Activation

After receiving the .C2V file, Gexcel will send an activation .V2C file in reply.


Please, follow these instructions to apply it.

  1. Plug in the USB dongle
  2. Open Reconstructor® and select Help → License Manager.
  3. Click on Apply license activation file (V2C).
  4. Select the .v2c file and Open it.
  5. A successful message should appear at the end of the license activation process.
  6. Reboot Reconstructor®.


Multi-licensing (only for USB server licenses)

A multi-licensing server dongle lets you to simultaneously work on more PCs.

The computers can be positioned in different locations, but they must be connected to the same network (same IP address and subnet mask).

To activate a multi-seats license on a USB server dongle, the same steps explained above might be taken.

See more details at Installation paragraph to correctly set the software on the PCs connected to the network.
