Overview
This is a Cloud-managed licence that requires any client PC to have continuous internet access (a short offline period of a few minutes is allowed to account for connectivity issues). The shared licence access key allows the DNV software to run on any client PC with internet access to DNV's licence servers. Multiple concurrent users can access the software up to the limit defined in the licence.
Licence Administrator: Obtaining your access key
A designated Company Licence Administrator retrieves an access key from My DNV Software and forwards it to the end user. Only Company Licence Administrators have access to these codes.
The access key is obtained from the Access Key section of the Licences tab. One access key provides access to all products your company is entitled to. You can either:
- Copy the key to share manually, or
- Invite Users to send an email with the key, setup instructions, and learning resources.
End user licence activation
How to acivate your licence is described in detail in the End user licence activation page.
Viewing your usage
The designated Company Licence Administrator can monitor usage in My DNV Software, under the Usage section of the Licences tab. This allows administrators to see which users are currently using the licences and revoke access if needed.
