      How to Create a License

      1. Navigate to softwarekey.com
      2. Click on "Customers" and "Login: SOLO Server Automation"
      3. You will see a panel like the figure below. Introduce your login credentials. If you don't have them yet, please reach out to Sohaib or Juan. 
      4. Once you have successfully logged in, you will reach the main screen. 
      5. For creating a new license, click on "Customers" in the top horizontal menu, and then, on "Add a New Customer". 
      6. After that, you will see a form for introducing all the data from the customer. You should extract this data from the PO. Once you have entered everything, in the Notes field, write the Califia serial number, e.g. Califia1244. 
      7. Finally click on "Save". 
      8. Once the new customer is created, you will visualize the customer details panel. Below that, you will find the Licenses panel. Click on "Add License". 
      9. In the "Add License" screen, select "Califia Simulator Perpetual License" as the product, always, even though it won't be perpetual. And then click on "Add New License". 
      10. In the next screen, in the "Activations Left" field, put 3. And in the "Licensee Name" field, put the same Califia serial number that you put before. 
      11. Once the license is created, click on the ID number. This will bring you to the "View License" page. Then click on "User-Defined Fields". 
      12. In this table, click on "Edit" to be able to change its values. In "UDefChar1" you need to introduce the corresponding codes from the "Module activation codes" document. You can find it in OneDrive under Manufacturing > General > 1. Released Products > 1. Califia Perfusion Patient Simulator > 4. Manufacturing Processes > 7. Misc Docs. If you don't have access to this document, reach out to Sohaib or Juan. The way you have to put them is all the numbers separated by a ";" in this way: "4500;8200;1200;1500;4100". 
      13. Under "UDefChar2" introduce the suppression codes, for example, the ChinaBridge products should not be available for any other customer than ChinaBridge. To supress these products, put "1003;1007;1012". 
      14. Under "UDefDate1" introduce today's date. 
      15. Under "UDefDate2" introduce the license end date. If it is perpetual, leave this blank. 
      16. Leave the rest blank and click on "Submit". 
      17. Congratulations! You have successfully created a License for a new customer.
