4 Authorising the licence

This chapter describes how to authorise the MF Manager licences, and assumes that:

• MF Manager is installed on your computer.

• You are entitled to a licence for this installation. The number of licences

available depends upon the product code for the package you have purchased.

Authorising the licence

Caution

Moving the PC clock backwards disables any existing licences.

4.1 Software licence validation

The licence verification system used by Nokia is a software licence based on a Site Code generated forthe computerand aSite Keyprovided by NokiaCustomer Services.

NMS/10-related products are protected by software controlled licensing system. Before you can use NMS/10 System Frame or other licence-protected applications like MF Manager, you must have a licence for your installation.

You are granted an automatic 30-day trial licence when starting up MF Manager for the first time. Note that for each release, this trial licence can be granted only once on a single PC. Thus, if you reinstall the software after the trial licence expires, a new trial licence will not be granted. In order to set the system up for permanent operationyou need to purchase a corresponding software licence from Nokia to get a Site Key installed on your system.

The NMS/10 Licence Manager program is a tool to help the customers of Nokia to manage licensing of NMS/10 related applications.

When you run Licence Manager on the computer on which you have installed the software, a Site Code will be generated automatically. Nokia Customer Services will supply you with a Site Key that matches this Site Code.

MF Manager C2.5

Caution

The software licence is based on the machine and disk configuration and will be lost if a disk is replaced or reformatted. If you have a disk failure, you will need to contact Nokia Customer Services to get a new Site Key for your restored software.
