In this topic, you will learn how to set up BobCAD-CAM as a fully registered and licensed product.
To run the software as a licensed version, use the registration wizard
to register the software using the license ID and Password provided to
you in the invoice of your product. How this is accomplished varies slightly
based on the method you use. Although an active Internet connection is
required, it is not required on the computer that is being registered
as you can transfer the necessary files to an offline work station via
USB Flash Drive.
This method is only necessary in cases where the station to be licensed is not able to be connected to the internet for any period of time. For this method, we:
1 Turn on BobCAD-CAM.
2 Register Manually via Email
3 Generate and save a request file.
4 Transfer the request file to an online computer.
5 Email in the request file and save attachment that is received in reply.
6 Transfer the attachment back to the offline station.
7 Open
the attachment in the Email Activation dialog box.
In order to register manually, you will need:
1 To
open the software, double-click the BobCAD-CAM icon on the desktop, or
in the Start
menu, click Programs
and select BobCAD-CAM.
