VDG Sense | Licensing | Activation

Step 1: Requirements

  • A Sense Client and Sense Server installation.
    Since Sense Server has no graphical user interface, therefore you need to activate the Sense Server software
    via a Sense Client.

  • A Sense license key
    You can use either the license key file on the USB stick or provided by email. The USB stick should be
    inserted into the Sense Client platform machine (not the Sense server). You can also manually enter the
    license key by pasting or typing it.

  • An internet connection
    The Sense Client needs an internet connection for the activation process, as well as being able to connect
    to the Sense Server over the network. Note that the Sense Server does not require any internet connection.

Step 2: License key

  • Open the activation wizard by clicking the Enter the license key button.

  • When the USB card is inserted into the Sense Client platform machine, it will automatically recognize the license key file. In other case, you will have to browse for a license key file or enter it manually.

  • When clicking the Check button, the key parameter will be sent to the Sense Server. If verification is successful, you can use your Sense software for ten days. After ten days you need to complete the activation process to continue using Sense software. 

Step 3: Activation

  • For an Online activation of the license you have to click on the Online button (Internet connection on server needed) 

  • To activate your software you will need to provide a valid email address. Your license file will be emailed to this address.

  • After clicking the Activate button, you need to confirm (click the Confirm button) the summary in order to complete the activation of your software.

  • When successfully activated the software license status changes and will be able to display more detailed license features.
