PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY TO AVOID UNNECESSARY DELAYS


All Kipware® applications are protected from copying, decompiling and unauthorized use via our software protection device.

 

Kentech Inc. provides two (2) seats for STANDARD PURCHASES. The software protection is tied to the hardware and some software make-up of each PC. Therefore, each PC will generate its own unique unlock information. If you intend to install an application(s) purchased on a 2nd PC ... you will need to forward the information as outlined below for each PC.


IMPORTANT : Remember that it is the clients responsibility to maintain a copy of the original installation file. Make certain to copy that file ( the file you downloaded initially ) onto an external medium in the event a re-install is required in the future. We do not and cannot supply legacy installations and UPGRADE charges will apply if you request an installation file at a future date.

 

To activate your software applications:

 

  • Install the software either from the downloaded file or from the file shipped on the CD. This will create an icon or icons on your desktop for the software application(s) you have purchased. (If you downloaded the software online we recommend copying the installation to a CD to have on hand should anything happen to your PC in the future.)

 

  • Once the installation is complete, start the software either by clicking on the icon for the software application you wish to open on your desktop or use the start menu and select the application.


  • A registration box will appear on your screen which will have your PC’s SITE CODE and MID number in the top section. These numbers are specific to that PC and are what we will use to generate your activation code. 



  • If your application contains multiple titles ( referred to as companion applications ), we only require the MID and SITE CODE from any ONE title. You will notice that all titles will have the same MID and SITE CODE ... and you only need to SUBMIT the MID and SITE CODE from any ONE title. 


NOTE : Multiple Title Instructions

Some Kipware titles consists of multiple titles ... for example Kipware+  consists of a conversational title and a quoting / estimating title. We would require the MID and SITE CODE from one conversational app and one quoting / estimating app. Some helpful instructions are below.


KipwareMAX® consists of two packages ... Kipware® SUITE (quoting & estimating apps ) and Kipware® STUDIO ( conversational programming apps ). You will need to SUBMIT two sets of MID and SITE CODES ... one for any SUITE title and one for any STUDIO title. For example ... KipwareCYC® (Suite) and KipwareM® (Studio).

Kipware+® consists of two packages ... one Kipware® quoting & estimating app and one Kipware® conversational programming apps. You will need to SUBMIT two sets of MID and SITE CODES ... one for the conversational app (KipwareM® or KipwareT®) and one quoting / estimating app (KipwareCYC® or KipwareQTE®)

KipwareXC-PRO consists of two packages ... KipwareXC® and CNC XChange®. You will need to SUBMIT two sets of MID and SITE CODES ... one for KipwareXC® and one for CNC XChange.


  • Please pay close ATTENTION and record the information correctly to avoid delays. 

    The best method is to COPY and PASTE the MID and SITE CODE to avoid incorrect data entry. 


  • Once we have generated the activation code and sent it to you, you will enter it in the Activation Code Field in this box. You will only need to do this the first time you start your application.

 

If this is the first time you are starting the application, you will note that there is a blue field below the activation code field that says Locked. After this initial activation this field will say Unlocked and you will only need to click the continue button to open the application.



  • You can send your information through that website at any time 24 hours as day … 7 days a week, Our Support Staff will return your email ASAP. 


NOTES --- IMPORTANT !!!! :
 The LICENSE locks your application to your PC. In the event that the license must be transferred or moved, each license must be removed from the PC before a new Activation Code for a new PC can be issued. Each application must be running and functional in order to remove the license .... please plan accordingly.

License  Removal Instructions :

 

Below are the instructions for removing your LICENSE from your PC. Your current LICENSE must be removed before a new LICENSE can be issued.

Failure to perform the License Removal can result in additional seat charges.
