Softimage Licensing Program
Once you have received your licensing key from Avid|DS you must replace the
old key with a new key in the licensing file on the system.
Before licensing the Avid|DS version 6 software, you must verify the version of
the Softimage Licensing program.
To verify the version of the Softimage Licensing program
1. Click the Start button and choose Programs > SOFTIMAGE Products >
Licensing > LicTools.
2. Click Existing License or New License.
The License File Window opens showing the existing license file name.
3. Select SoftImage(.lic) and click Open.
Your Existing License File appears.
4. Verify if the license text contains SENTINEL_KEY or FLEXID values
before the dongle identifier (7-b285xxxx or 8-5E7000xxxxxx).
For example; SERVER “Computer_Name” FLEXID = 8-5E7000xxxxxx 744
• A FLEXID value indicates that the Softimage Licensing program is up to
date and does not need a new installation, close the window and continue
to Creating a Valid License File on page 108.
