DraftSight 2015

[MrFrostmaul]

Hello,

Just been asked by our DT Department to install this software on many computers. We have a system to deploy software which works great with DraftSight 2015, but is is asking for the user to activate the software on each computer by an email address. This is hard as we are installing on over 50 computers and would use too much time just for this. Software is free, but you still have to activate with an email which is stupid really.

 

Does anyone know how I can get this software to auto activate when installed automatically?

Same people as Solidworks who operate a licence server which you point clients to, is there an equivalent?

*Standalone license. Activation required.

... I guess not

3.2.F What is the difference between the Free Version license and a Premium/network license?

The free version is registered and activated to an individual user. While the software can be installed on multiple workstations, the registration only allows one system to be operational.

If you need to run more systems, you need to download/install the free version, and activate the product individually, or consider converting to a network license (DraftSight Premium Pack).

Network licensed products rely upon a Network License Manager to manage the software licenses.

The software can be installed and run on multiple workstations, beyond the maximum number of licenses you’ve purchased.

The Network License Manager allows concurrent/floating licensing and “checks out” licenses until they are all in use. No more workstations can run the program until a license is “checked in”.

If you need to run DraftSight in more workstations, you can purchase additional licenses for the Network License Manager to maintain.

3.2.B – Multiple User Accounts on one Computer The DraftSight activation must be performed by each user, as it’s not machine based.

This means that if you have multiple users, with different accounts, using the same PC, and all need to use DraftSight, each one needs to active the product individually on each user account.
