Ascent Xtrata Pro User's Guide

License Activation

The Ascent Xtrata Pro setup will install the Project Builder with a demo license. The
demo license is valid for three days from the date of installation. The Project Builder
can be used without any restrictions until the license expires.

After the expiration date, the Project Builder will not work except for the license
activation component. Until activation is complete, Project Builder will display a
dialog box asking the user to activate the license.

License activation enables the use of Project Builder on a single computer based on
an Ascent Capture hardware key. License activation requires the user to plug in an
Ascent Capture license key with either a time/volume restricted Ascent evaluation
license or an unrestricted Ascent Xtrata Pro license (either a General Base License or
an Invoice Base License).

After activation, the Ascent Capture hardware key is no longer required by the
Project Builder.

During startup the Project Builder splash screen will display the Ascent serial
number, the name of the user and the company name together with the current
version. If a time restricted Ascent Product Suite Evaluation license has been used for
activation, Project Builder will also show the expiration date. Note that Project
Builder will stop functioning after the expiration date. If an unrestricted Ascent
Xtrata Pro license has been used for activation, Project Builder will not be time
limited.
