An OPEN MIND product (e.g. ^hyperMILL®) can be licensed with an activation code. During activation, the licenses are written to the dongle.

If you do not yet have an activation code, please request one by e-mail:

support@westcam.at

The activation code is valid for all further ^hyperMILL® versions.

Start the license manager as administrator (right mouse -> Start as administrator). This will give you the full range of functions and you will see the Dongle/Server, Activation code and Options tabs. Without administrator rights, you can only call up the license status with the license manager.

Only a few mouse clicks are required to activate/update a product license.
Important: An Internet connection must be available.

• Open the License Manager as an administrator.
