NOTE! Remember to always activate your live license first, otherwise you will get the "wrong" license on the wrong computer.
In other words, you will have your home license linked to your office workstation and the main license to your home computer. However, this is easy to solve but it requires you to export both licenses and redo your activation so that the right computer gets the right license.
If this is the case, please click here for instructions.
Also remember to put the license file for IC Mechanical on your home computer. Then use these instructions:
https://www.solidmakarna.mechanical
Licenses for other third-party add-ons such as KeyShot, Translator , etc. are not included when activating a home license.
The home licence is an "additional licence" included in an active support contract. The license is valid for the same period as the active support contract and is valid for up to 12 months. If the support contract is renewed, the licence can be activated again for another 12 months.
