Managing Licenses

 

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.

Viewing Current Licenses

Viewing Available Licenses

To view available licenses, ensure you are logged in to MyCentre via Enerplot, then from the License drop-down menu, select View Available Licenses.
