Your NoiseMap licence is held on a hardware security key (USB dongle).\u00a0 This must be plugged into the computer all the time that NoiseMap is running.\u00a0 If it is removed, NoiseMap will warn you and stop running until it is put back.<\/p>\n
When you start NoiseMap, the Output log screen will show the version of NoiseMap that you are running along with the expiry date of the licence and the maintenance, so you are always clear about this.\u00a0 When the licence expiry date is less than a month away, you get a warning on the start-up screen.\u00a0 At this point you should contact NoiseMap if you want to keep running the software.<\/p>\n
When you do ask us to extend your licence, we will update the details on our licensing server, but this does not update the dongle automatically (because for example the dongle may not be plugged in at that time).\u00a0 NoiseMap will not show the new expiry dates until you update the dongle.<\/p>\n
You can check your licence and version number details on our server by going to Help>Check for Software\/Licence updates. If you have extended the maintenance or expiry date, it will be shown there.\u00a0 It will also show a Licence Update Code.\u00a0 You can copy this to the clipboard and paste into\u00a0 NoiseMap’s Help>Update Licence<\/em> dialog.\u00a0 This will update the dongle and you can then continue to use NoiseMap until the next Expiry date.<\/p>\n Our current company policy is that our software does not contact our server to check the licence details except when you ask it to.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 by selecting Parameters>Program Options from NoiseMap’s menu, you can set NoiseMap to check for licence or software updates automatically at intervals of your choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your licence details Your NoiseMap licence is held on a hardware security key (USB dongle).\u00a0 This must be plugged into the computer all the time that NoiseMap is running.\u00a0 If it is removed, NoiseMap will warn you and stop running until it is put back.
