Open the Activation tool, and check the activation date of the system. If the system was
activated less than a year ago, you can safely proceed with the installation.
If the SMA end date is displayed at the bottom of the window in red text, you need to
extend your SMA.
Software versions 1.3 and lower: if the SMA end date field is not displayed at the bottom
of the window, and the system was activated more than a year ago, you should calculate
if the SMA end date is still valid as follows:
– add 1 year to the activation date.
– add 1 year to the activation date for each DCNM-1SMA which is in the list of licenses.
– add 2 years to the activation date for each DCNM-2SMA which is in the list of
licenses.
– add 5 years to the activation date for each DCNM-5SMA which is in the list of
licenses.
If the outcome is after today's date, you can safely proceed with the installation.
If the outcome is before today's date, you need to extend your SMA, because the
DICENTIS software will not start up after the upgrade.
To add the fulfillment, click the Add fulfillment button and repeat the steps of the 'Initial
Activation' procedure.
