When installing on a device that does not have internet access for an automatic activation, do a manual activation. The way manual activation works for an Individual license is:
- Install the Trial version and launch ExtendSim.
- In the Activation Dialog that appears, click the Activate button.
- Since your device doesn't have internet access, ExtendSim will give you an error message "Unable to perform automatic activation".
- In the error message, click the button to Save Activation Info as Text File.
- You can choose where to save the text file; by default the file (ExtendSim Activation Info.txt) gets saved to the top level of the Documents folder.
- Print the text file or write down its contents.
- Using a device with email access, email the text file contents to us at Sales.ExtendSim@Andritz.com.
- Using the information from the ExtendSim Activation Info.txt file, we will generate a license file (extendsim.lic) and email it back to you.
- The only "tricky" part is getting the license file to the device that's on the closed network. Everyone does this differently, but the best way is to transfer the license file using a USB drive or other removable device or print the license file and take the printout to the device on the closed network where ExtendSim is installed. On that device, open Notepad and enter the information from the printed license file. Save the information as a text file named extendsim.lic.
- Put that license file (extendsim.lic) into the UserName/Documents/ExtendSim folder (with Admin privileges if required) and relaunch ExtendSim.
- ExtendSim should launch as an activated license. If the Activation Dialog appears, you've done something wrong.
