Renishaw license key manager system
The license key system has been designed to allow the OEM and retrofitters to easily upgrade UCC2 systems by simply entering in a licence
key into the controller via the host PC. The upgrades can be done in the OEM factory, or in the field, without the need for hardware dongles or
additional extra inventory (extra units configured for different functionality).
The license key system is based on a controller ID that is embedded into the UCC2 hardware. For each UCC2 system there is a unique ‘key'
that is required to unlock the required functionality.
Using the Renishaw license key manager
When the UCC2 is received from Renishaw, it will be configured in the touch-trigger state and have the I++DME active. If only the touch-
trigger system was purchased then no further action is required. However, if additional functionality was purchased (or has been purchased
since), the process of upgrading the system must be conducted.
Obtaining the key
This ‘key’ is provided by Renishaw. To obtain the ‘key’, the above information needs to be supplied to Renishaw. This can be done by e‐mail,
fax or even by telephone.
They will have the capability to generate the unique key required for the unit in question, which will be supplied in a 16 digit hexadecimal
number of the form xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
