Softimage Licensing Program
Before licensing the Avid|DS 5.0 software, you must verify the version of the
Softimage Licensing program.
To verify the version of the Softimage Licensing program
1. Go to Start > Programs > SOFTIMAGE Products > Licensing > LicTools.
2. Click Existing License.
3. Verify if the license text contains SENTINEL_KEY or FLEXID values
before the dongle identifier (7-b285xxxx or 8-5E7000xxxxxx).
• A SENTINEL_KEY entry indicates an older version of the Softimage
Licensing program. You must update to the new version.
• A FLEXID value indicates that the Softimage Licensing program is up to
date and does not need a new installation.
To install the new version of the Softimage Licensing program
1. Insert the Avid|DS 5.0 Software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. From the menu, choose Licensing Setup.
3. Proceed with a default installation of the Softimage Licensing program.
4. When prompted, choose Replace to overwrite the current licensing program.
5. When the LicTools utility opens, choose Enter Key Later.
6. Click Finish to exit the Setup program.
7-36c7xxxx dongles can no longer be used to license Avid|DS
systems and must be returned to Softimage for replacement.
Do NOT uninstall the old version of the Softimage Licensing program.
