Obtaining Access to Certificate Licensing
Certificate licensing, also known as Advanced Licensing or Internet Licensing, is used for licensing the use of Enerplot. Login credentials in an Internet-based user portal called MyCentre are used to authorize licensing, and a certificate to run Enerplot is checked out on the computer.
Certificate licensing for the fully-featured edition is available for both a permanent license and for a temporary trial.
When a certificate is checked out, it may either be retained on that computer when Enerplot is exited, or returned to MyCentre. If the certificate is retained, it will initially be valid for a four-week period; this period will then be refreshed to a new four-week period whenever Enerplot is re-launched with Internet access. The benefit to retaining a certificate on a machine is that Enerplot may be run for up to four weeks without requiring internet access, making it portable.
If the certificate is returned, it is available for another user to activate on their machine.
The license for the certificate is held within MyCentre in a special grouping called a “workgroup”. A workgroup contains products, such as certificate licensing, and authorized users, who are called “members”.
When licensing will be shared among many users within one workgroup, access to the workgroup may be controlled by a designated person (or people) within the organization. The designated person is referred to as the “WorkGroup Administrator”, “Local Administrator” or simply “Administrator”. In addition to adding and removing member access to the workgroup, the workgroup administrator may also designate other members as additional administrators. For details on managing a workgroup, please refer to the article Managing a Workgroup.
Enerplot is available for purchase or for a time-limited trial. Please contact our sales desk.
If your organization already owns one or more licenses, contact the Workgroup Administrator (i.e. the manager of your licenses), to obtain access. The Workgroup Administrator will send you a join code, which can then be used to join your MyCentre user account to the workgroup containing the licenses.
NOTE: If you do not know the identity of your Workgroup Administrator, send a request to our sales desk (enerplotsales@mhi.ca), ensuring to include your name and organization.
Once you have received the join code, log in to your MyCentre user account, and paste in the join code:
