Node-locked Licensing

A node-locked license is intended to prevent unauthorized (repeated) use of the DS Mechanical application, and requires that a serial number only works on a single machine. In DS Mechanical, node-locked licenses can include, for example, Data Exchange Package I, Data Exchange Package II, JT Open, TraceParts, and CATIAClosed V5.

To use the same serial number on another machine, you must first deactivate the license on the first machine. To do this, select the Deactivate License button in the License Options dialog box. The Deactivate License button displays only if you have a node-locked serial number license, and is not visible to Flex customers, or most serial number customers.
