Licensing

To license the CP-Suite, you will need a valid licence file. Authorisation takes place in the CP-Licence Manager. You only need to license the CP-Server. An internet connection is normally required for activating the licence. If your server does not have internet access, the licence can instead be activated manually. In this case, please contact our Support.

For CP-Suite authorisation, start the CP-Licence Manager on the computer on which you installed the CP-Server. You will find the CP-Licence Manager in the Windows Start menu à All Programs à Corporate Planning à CP-Licence Manager.

Here you will find the following functions:

Adding a licence:

To add a licence, click "add", select the licence file supplied by Corporate Planning, and click "Open". The licence will now appear with "Activation required" status.

Activating a licence:

To activate your licence, click "Activate". The CP-Licence Manager will attempt to connect to the internet in order to carry out the activation. If the internet connection settings in your network are specially configured, any necessary adjustments can be made by clicking "Settings". If a connection to the web activation server could not be established, you can instead activate your licence manually. In this case, please follow the instructions displayed by the program. After a successful activation, you will see that the licence has "Activated" status.

Other functions:

Deactivating a licence:

Before you read in a new licence or change the system, the current licence must be deactivated by clicking "deactivate".

Licence details:

Click "Details" for an overview of all the features of the current licence, for example customer name, licence ID, expiry date. This also displays the licensing status of all modules and functions.
