Working with License in Windows OS

In Windows OS, an application license is handled by means of the license manager, which:

It activates the product.
It displays parameters of the current license and features.
It determines license search settings.

NOTE. Working with the license manager is available only in the desktop application.

To start the license manager:

Select the Windows main menu item: Foresight Analytics Platform 10.5 > License Manager.
Select the Help > About item in the main menu of Foresight Analytics Platform, then click the Change Licenses button.

As a result, the license manager dialog box opens.

The license manager dialog box view depends on:

License search results. If there is no license or the current license is expired, the information dialog box opens.

License type in use. If stand-alone or network licenses are in use, the license manager dialog box changes.

Stand-alone License Activation

To activate the desktop application with stand-alone license:

Open license search settings.
Select the Check for Stand-alone License Only radio button.
Click the OK button. The license manager dialog box opens.
Click the Activate button in the license manager dialog box.
Select file with activation code using Foresight Analytics Platform activation wizard.

After executing the operations, the desktop application is activated with stand-alone license. Work with stand-alone license will be available in the license manager, for example:
