Activation and Trial limitations

Trial limitations

There is no difference in functionality between the trial version and the fully licensed product.
After the installation the product is available as a trial version for 30 days.

Activation

The license must be activated on every workstation where powerJobs Client has been installed.

Follow these simple steps to activate powerJobs on completely new workstations, together with all other products included in your subscription:

• How to activate coolOrange products

After successful activation, all these products can be used on the computer until your licences expire.

Note

If an Internet connection is available, no further activation steps are necessary from now on:
neither after the annual licence renewal nor after unlocking additional products in your subscription.

As your subscription allows it, you can also activate additional Vault workstations with your customer key.

Other methods of activation using a serial number

The classic way to activate powerJobs Client is by using a serial number.

Use this activation method, for example, if there is no internet connection or if you want to activate an older powerJobs Client version (v22 - v24).
Further details can be found in the second section on activations via serial numbers “For products with version 20.x - 24.x”.

To register the serial number for this product, the powerJobs Client specific License Information dialog is required:

Open it via the Start Menu and navigate to “All Apps → coolOrange → License Manager” and search for “powerJobs Client”.
Then click on the “Trial” link (or on the already displayed serial number).

Alternatively, you can start it via the command line:

"C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\[Vault Version]\Extensions\powerJobs Client.NetFramework\License.exe" --Serialnumber="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" --StandAlone

Depending on whether you have an internet connection or not, you can register a signed licence file or the serial number:

• Register the serial number of powerJobs Client if an internet connection is available.
  
  

• For an offline activation you need a signed license file.
  You can download it from another device using this link: Offline Activation of powerJobs Client. Again you need the serial number of powerJobs Client, as well as the Machine Code which is displayed in the License Information dialog on the workstation.

  Note

  Please note that after the annual licence renewal this offline activation must be updated on every Vault workstation. Further information can be found here.

Are you having problems with the Activation?

To check on a workstation whether the products of your subscription are activated, you can open the Licence Manager via the Start Menu by navigating to “All Apps → coolOrange → License Manager”.
For further information about the powerJobs Client license, open the License Information dialog to see the remaining days until the licence expires.

The last 30 days before this licence expires, the Vault user will see additional notifications about the coolOrange subscription that needs to be renewed.

License expired

If the powerJobs Client licence expires, no more notifications about jobs are displayed, only notifications about the expired licence.
