3. Web License

This internet-based password system allows license-owner organizations to control user access and perform administrative tasks from Itasca’s web license administration site. The license permits two software instances per computer, per seat. Internet access is required during model cycling or modification.

For information on finding your license number, see License Troubleshooting.

Demonstration Mode

When no key is present, choose Continue to start in “Demonstration Mode”. This mode is fully functional except for model size limits during cycling. Larger models generate an error message indicating the model exceeds Demonstration Mode limits.

Starting the program without a standard or network license key triggers the key error dialog (see Figure 3.1).
