Activating a Concurrent License - with Internet connection

The help for the licensing functions supports you as the administrator with the activation, return and transfer of the Concurrent License for the Eplan License Manager (ELM Configurator).

The Entitlement ID is used to activate the Concurrent License on the Eplan License Manager.

Important!

Continuing to use an activated license

An activated license is coupled to the software and hardware information of your computer. If you want to carry out modifications to your computer or want to activate the license on a different computer, you must always first return the license!

You can find out when this is in particular necessary in the License: Basics topic.

  • Eplan License Manager (ELM Configurator) is installed or is being installed. At the end of the installation a dialog for licensing is displayed.
