The Product Activation Wizard is designed to step users through the product activation process. After a product is installed, you must obtain a license and then activate that license. Obtaining the license alone is not enough to complete the process. This wizard eliminates the confusion and makes it clear that obtaining a license and activating a product are two essential steps.

The Product Activation Wizard opens automatically at the end of the product installation process, assuming you turned on the Launch activation wizard option on the final page of the installation wizard. See To Install ConstructSim Executive for more information on installing ConstructSim Executive.

You can also access the Product Activation Wizard from within ConstructSim Executive by selecting Help > Update License, which launches the Product Activation Wizard dialog.

The first screen of the Product Activation Wizard offers these product activation options:

• SELECT subscriber activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECTserver
• SELECT subscriber with a deployed (local) SELECTserver
• NON-SELECT or Node Locked user
• Evaluation Only - No license information

The wizard steps you through the activation process based on the options selected.
