Activating Your Product
Product activation is achieved by connecting to a SELECTserver, receiving verification that your SELECTserver Name and Activation Key are correct, and successfully posting usage logs. Product activation is not the same as checking out a license. This section describes how to configure ConstructSim Executive for activation. After initial configuration, ConstructSim Executive automatically and transparently tries to activate each time it runs, and runs unconstrained for a period of 7 days after its last successful activation. However, if activation is unsuccessful for a period of 7 days, ConstructSim Executive runs in unauthorized mode with sessions limited to 15 minutes until the product is successfully activated again.
Note: If the workstation on which ConstructSim Executive will be running does not have regular network access for periodic activation (at least every 7 days), then consider utilizing a checked-out license. Checked-out licenses are considered to be in full-time use and ConstructSim Executive will not attempt to post usage for the duration of the license term. See the ConstructSim Executive documentation for details on obtaining a checked out license.
