Installing a license key
To install a license key (CAP Plus, for example):
1.
Log in to the DASDEC
2.
Go to
Setup > Server > Main/License
page
3.
Locate the
CAP Plus
field then insert the license key that was given to you in an email.
The CAP LICENSE KEY below is between the quotes and it is important to verify the serial number matches the serial number
of the unit. Note it is much easier to cut and paste instead of typing, as these keys are case, space and all character sensitive.
S/N DASxxx CAP PLUS “
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”
4.
Once the key is copied into the appropriate field, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Restart Server"
5.
After the software restarts, log back in and verify the field is and shows the word
:VALID
NOTE: (Specifically for the CAP Plus Key) The DASDEC must be at Version 2.0-0_a03 or above to provide the FEMA IPAWS
interface. The version number shown in the upper right-hand box is only the first portion of the entire version number.
Clicking on the version number will take you to the "About" page where you will see the "whole" version number. You can
download the latest version at
