Offline Activation

23.08.2021

To activate a license offline, i.e. without connecting to the Internet, you will need to provide Weisang with what is called the host ID of your computer or your dongle in addition to the product key for the license. The host ID identifies your computer/dongle and the license is tied to the computer/dongle by way of the host ID.

If you have a dongle-based license:

1.Insert the USB dongle into an available USB port on your computer.

2.Wait until the USB dongle driver finishes installing and the red LED on the dongle lights up.

3.Launch FlexPro and click File > Info > License Manager.

4.In the License Manager, click Extended.

5.In the Show Host IDs dialog box that appears you will see the host IDs. If you have connected the dongle and it is detected correctly, the first entry should be HASPHL=xxxxxxxxxx. Click Copy to the Windows clipboard.

6.Now send an e-mail to licensing@weisang.com. Include in the e-mail the displayed host IDs (paste from the Clipboard using CTRL+V) and the product keys that were provided to you with FlexPro. Please note that your e-mail must include a valid e-mail address for the reply. After a Weisang representative has activated your license, you will receive an e-mail with a license file (.lic) attached.

7.Open the folder C:\ProgramData\Weisang\FlexPro and copy the license file into this folder.
Notes: The ProgramData folder is not usually displayed in Windows Explorer. You should therefore enter the entire path name using the keyboard. If a file with the same name is already in the folder, rename the new file before copying it to the folder.

After you have copied the file, open the FlexPro License Manager again. FlexPro will then import the license and will display the available licenses. Select the edition and options that you want to use and close the License Manager by clicking OK.
