Since version 1.52 the software contains a license manager. It is used to install optionally obtainable license codes to
unlock extended features in the software. Those extended features are not free of charge. The license code can be
purchased together with a device (which is supported by this software) or later.
The license is tied to the PC on which it shall be installed.

How to obtain a license?
Open the license manager in EA Power Control via menu “? -> License Management” and in the manager click on
“Get License ID code”. This will open another window with some information. Click on the display e-mail address to
open your default e-mail software and to send a request mail for a quote and/or other information.
How to install a license code?
After receipt of the license (as e-mail, text form), which is tied to a specific PC and it unique computer ID number (short:
CID), compare the CID of the PC you are going to install the license on with the CID in the license code e-mail. The CID
of the current PC is displayed in the “Get License ID code” window. Access it via menu “? -> License Management -
> Get License ID code”. In case the compared CIDs didn’t match, the PC may be the wrong one or the CID has changed
in between. Then read below at “What to do if the license should suddenly become invalid?”.
After successful comparison, close the window and either type the license code into the text box “New License ID Code
(LIC)” or copy & paste it from the e-mail. If the license code is accepted, the license will be installed and the correspond-
ing features unlocked. The license manager windows will show the status as often as you open it.
One license code can unlock multiple extended features.
Note: Save the e-mail with the license code for later use at a secure and easy to find location or print it.
