Getting Started with MCL-Designer V4 > How to Start MCL-Designer V4

Overview

There are two MCL license products available - a "standard" MCL-Designer license (MCL-Designer Std) and a "professional" MCL-Designer license (MCL-Designer Pro), each with its own services.

An MCL-Designer Pro license with a currently enabled MCL-Support service provides the additional service of license replacement.

For instance, if you have activated an MCL-Designer Pro license (with active MCL-Support) and the PC it is installed in malfunctions, you can transfer the license to another PC.

License replacement is not a perpetual service, it can only be performed a limited number of times.

An MCL-Designer Pro license replacement requires two main steps:

•the canceling of the MCL-Designer Pro license in your MCL-License Manager account (to dissociate the license from the PC it was installed in).

•the reactivation of the MCL-Designer Pro license (to associate the license to another PC).

Once the MCL-Designer license is canceled, you have ten days to install/activate it in another PC. After this period, the license is permanently deactivated.

License replacement is only available for MCL-Designer Pro licenses with an active MCL-Support service and for a limited number of times.

It is NOT possible to perform the same procedure with MCL-Designer Std licenses.

You have ten days to activate a canceled MCL-Designer License in a new PC. The countdown starts as soon as the license is canceled in the MCL-License Manager.

After this period, the license is permanently deactivated.
