Overview

S32 Design Studio runs on basis of a free software license. The product is ready for use once the license is activated in the Flexera license management center. The validity period of the license is four years long.

Getting the activation key

After getting S32 Design Studio from the product's website, the user receives the activation key to the specified email address. Also, the activation key can be obtained from the user's account on the product website.

License activation

Activation of the license can be done when installing the product. The license can be activated online or offline.

Online activation means that S32 Design Studio holds the entire conversation with the license management service over the Internet automatically. The user only enters the activation key when requested.
Offline activation requires more user effort and serves when online activation cannot be applied, for instance, when the host machine cannot access Internet services. The user generates the activation request and places it to a location that can be accessed from the Internet. Then the user visits the user account on the product's website, uploads the activation request, generates the activation response, and submits it to S32 Design Studio .

License status

The status of the license (activated or not) can be learnt from the user account on the product's website. The license information is also available in the Product Licenses window of S32 Design Studio .

Returning the license

If you decide to uninstall S32 Design Studio or reinstall it to a different workstation, the best approach is to return the license and thus keep it for future use. The license can be returned online or offline, similar to the activation procedure.

When reinstalled, S32 Design Studio can be activated with the returned license. The license can be reused with the same product version only. If the product was upgraded to the higher version, the new license is required.
