21.2. The First Launch and Licensing
21.2.1 Registration on the License Server Using Internet
When you first start the DICOM Viewer after installing, it will attempt to register itself on the license server. During its registration, the DICOM Viewer does not transmit any personal data.
If you have a license key, select License... from the Help section of the main menu. In the dialog box that opens (Fig. 21.1), enter the license key and click OK to confirm or CANCEL to cancel the input. If the license key is not valid, the activation fails.
To close the DICOM Viewer, select Exit from the File section of the main menu.
The Lite and Pro editions are registered separately.
If the license key does not support the activation of Additional Modules, and you need to replace it with a new one, click on the ENTER NEW KEY button and enter the new key.
21.2.2 License Proxy Server for automated corporate licensing
To automatize the licensing of a large number of copies of the program in a company, a License Proxy Server is used. The License Proxy Server must have a permanent connection to the License Server. It is installed on the computer located in the local network of the company, and it loads the set of keys necessary for licensing all the copies of the program. At the first start, the program accesses the License Proxy Server and asks for the key. It saves users the need to enter the license keys. If necessary, additional keys can be loaded into the License Proxy Server.
