Acquiring or Releasing a License Certificate
WorkGroups contain licenses, which specify the software edition and version, type of license, and licensing duration (permanent or time-limited). This sub-chapter describes how to navigate licensing in the Enerplot software.
Before acquiring or releasing a certificate, the user must be logged in to Enerplot. The following can help to determine whether you are currently logged in to Enerplot or not:

To show details of the license currently being used, from the Licensing drop-down menu, select View current license. The certificate number (ID) and WorkGroup name will be displayed.
To view available licenses, ensure you are logged in to MyCentre via Enerplot, then from the Licensing drop-down menu, select View available licenses. For example, in the screen shot below, this user has access to two separate workgroups (“Accounts”); each workgroup contains (owns) one Enerplot license; and both licenses are currently available (not activated on any other machine).
