    If you already have a CabMasterPro license, then the licensing details for GigaDXF will be the same - see comparison above.

    Only one Cloud2 licence (for each CabMaster Software™ product) can be used on one computer at a time. If your CabMaster Software™ product is installed on more than one computer, you will need to Release Cloud Licensing before activating on another computer.

    Release License

    If the Release License button is pressed, the following message is displayed. To continue releasing your license, click Yes.

    The following message will inform you that the license will be released/removed and GigaDXF will close.

    Licensing

    GigaDXF Licenses itself to your computer when you first run it i.e. using your desktop/taskbar shortcut (or Gigadxf.exe file).

    The following message will confirm that the LicenseManager has initiated and preparing to activate your license.

    The following Activation dialog will be presented and if you already have a CabMasterPro license, the license code will be automatically included and you simply need to click the Activate button. 

    Your GigaDXF application uses the same licensing code as your CabMasterPro license. Otherwise you would need to enter the required license code provided at time of purchase.

    The code will display as **** to prevent you having your copy of GigaDXF stolen.

    Finally, the following message will confirm activation is successful.

    If you already have a licensed CabMaster Software™ application, then the license code will be automatically applied.

    Contact CabMaster Support to begin authorising your computer.
