Licensing FactoryStudio
If you purchased a license, you can license your installation. After you purchase the license, you must register the license key. If you did not purchase a license, you can use the Express version for training and evaluation.
The license can use a softkey or a hardkey (dongle). You can connect a hardkey to a computer that has already a softkey installed. While the hardkey it is connected, the system uses the hardkey’s license settings.
Use the same procedure as below to update a license for both softkey and hardkey licenses.
