KeyManager - Overview

The KeyManager module of CalderaRIP displays the status of the currently attached license and allows you to manage this and other licenses, as well as to activate new ones:

Activate new license button

By clicking on this button, you will be able to:

  • Save the fingerprint file: Select the destination folder for your Workstation’s fingerprint (.C2V file)
  • Load license file: Select the folder of your license file (.V2C file)

Info

The activation/registration of new licenses is now an automatic process that can be performed through our CalderaDock toolbox (since version 2.0).

In this sense, the "Activate new license" button in the KeyManager module is a legacy of the manual process. Refer to one of these videos for more details:

 

Manage licenses button

By clicking on this button, a window will appear that is divided in two: in the upper part, you can see the license(s) found by CalderaRIP. Once a license is selected, in the lower part you will see its content:
