7. DewesoftX® license information 

DS-CAN2 or any other Dewesoft device already comes with an embedded Dewesoft license. You can

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

check the license details with all the available options in the Licensing tab ​

by pressing the three

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dotted buttons ​

. However if the user decides to upgrade the license with an additional extension,

 

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DewesoftX® will require a new license registration. The registration can be made online ​

or offline by

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

importing an offline license ​

in case the system doesn’t have an internet connection. Offline license

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can be pre-registered on a different PC with the internet connection. If needed, the license can also be

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

written on the actual device ​

.  

 
Active and embedded licenses are seen under the Active licenses tab. If the license is recognized as

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

 

 

none active, it usually means that the wrong license was entered.
