Activate Server License Over Internet

For many reasons, you may need to activate or reactivate your InEight Estimate license. Some of these reasons may include:

  • You have renewed your license for another year

  • You have purchased additional Estimate modules

  • You have been using a Standalone license and you have now switched to a network license

  • You recently received your first copy of Estimate and need to activate your license

At any time, Estimate allows you to reactivate your license for the reasons above and any other reasons not mentioned.

Network license

Please ensure that there are no users logged into the InEight Estimate application when you restart the license server service, as this could result in loss of work.

Before you begin the activation of the Estimate license, ensure that you have a network connection.

Use the following step-by-step at the server console that contains the Estimate license server.
