Activating additionally-purchased software options or software maintenance is called "updating licenses". Updating licenses is usually done through the CLM Administrator Server on the Local License Server (refer to the "Managing the License Server" chapter). You can alternatively do it through the View licenses dialog box within the software package on a Local Client (refer to the "Managing Floating Licenses on Local Clients" chapter).
For this functionality, an Internet connection is required to allow for a connection to the Hexagon Network License Server.
To update newly purchased software options or software maintenance:
Click the View licenses link on the main screen to display the View licenses dialog (refer to the "Managing Floating Licenses on Local Clients" chapter).
Make sure the computer is connected to the Internet.
Select Check for license updates.
A connection to the Hexagon Network License Server is now established. The check for license updates is initiated.
If no license updates are available, you get the message that no new activatable licenses are available.
If license updates are available, you get the message "New floating licenses are available, please contact your license server administrator."
