5. Verify the license file

Start now IRONCAD and pull out an ICM (IRONCAD Mechanical ) component in the scene (e.g. Fastners). Then click on Information. Here you can see how many days the license is valid.

Velvet:

This Computer>Windows(C:)> Users> Shared> Shared Documents >IronPRO XT

So that's how it should look on both paths.
