Yo need an Internet connection and a up-to-date browser with JavaScript enabled, e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Microsoft Edge (version 79 or higher, Chromium based). The CodeMeter driver must be installed on the license-carrying computer. This driver creates a CodeMeter container with your license information and compares the info with the CodeMeter WebDepot.<\/p>\n<p>The following WSCAD software needs to be licensed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WSCAD ELECTRIX<\/li>\n<li>WSCAD SUITE X PLUS<\/li>\n<li>WSCAD SUITE X<\/li>\n<li>WSCAD Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The WSCAD DEMO version does not need to be licensed.<\/p>\n<p>For new licenses and license changes, UFC licenses (UFC = Universal Firm Code), which are stored in a CodeMeter container, are usually delivered. The CodeMeter container may be located on a dongle (USB stick) from WSCAD or directly on a PC. As a customer, you can now switch between hardware copy protection and software copy protection at any time, as long as a dongle is inserted.<\/p>\n<p>More information about license activation can be found here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/en\/license-activation\/\">https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/en\/license-activation\/<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h5>Software copy protection<\/h5>\n<p>When using the software copy protection, the license is stored in a CodeMeter container on the PC and bound to this PC during the license activation.<\/p>\n<h5>Hardware copy protection<\/h5>\n<p>For hardware copy protection you need a dongle (USB stick) from WSCAD. If you already have a dongle of a WSCAD predecessor version, you can continue to use it. The green WIBU-BOX\/U(+) dongle is no longer supported.<\/p>\n<p>When using the hardware copy protection, the license is stored in a CodeMeter container on the dongle and linked to this dongle during the license activation.<\/p>\n<p><u>Note<\/u>: If a dongle is plugged in, you can choose whether you want to use hardware copy protection or software copy protection when activating your UFC license. You can switch between hardware copy protection and software copy protection at any time via the WebDepot by returning the license and reactivating it.<\/p>\n<h5>Auto Update<\/h5>\n<p>If a change to your license is necessary (e.g., when upgrading from Compact to Professional or when adding additional users), these changes are automatically transferred to the WebDepot. As of SP3 of the WSCAD software, the WebDepot checks whether there are any changes to your license when the software is started. If so, these changes will be installed immediately. You do not have to activate a ticket in the WebDepot when changing the license.<\/p>\n<h5>Rehosting<\/h5>\n<p>You can rehost (i.e., move) UFC licenses from one PC to another. For hardware copy protection, simply plug the dongle into the other PC. For software copy protection, deactivate the license and activate it on the other PC. The CodeMeter driver must, of course, be installed on the other PC in both cases.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you want to change the license from hardware copy protection to software copy protection, or vice versa, you must first return the license and then reactivate it.<\/p>\n<h5>Borrowing<\/h5>\n<p>UFC network licenses can be borrowed from one CodeMeter container to another CodeMeter container for up to a month, e.g., from a standalone PC to a laptop. It does not matter if the containers are on a PC or on a dongle.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>WSCAD Starter dialog<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>If the WSCAD software finds further CodeMeter containers on the local PC and in the network at startup, all the current licenses of the software packages contained in them and their Add-Ons are offered to you in the Starter dialog. In addition, the already occupied and the still free licenses are displayed.<\/p>\n<p>Before the WSCAD software starts, you can activate and deactivate the individual Add-Ons in the Starter dialog.<\/p>\n<p>The license that you start will then no longer be available in the network. When you close the WSCAD software, the license will be released.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;
