The application comes in several configurations, and needs to be activated differently on different host computer types. The basic idea is that you may need to activate from license keys, or configure a network license server. Normally to activate a license, a connection to the internet must be available to verify and enable your license. To get your new installation going, simply follow these steps:
The license utility can be started directly from the Menu on your desktop, or by clicking License from the toolbar within PDF3DReportGen. Note on some systems this will close down ReportGen before opening up the license utility, as only one can be active at a time.
The license utility can also be started directly from the Start menu, as shown on a typical Windows system:
![]()
The menu folder structure for Windows entries:
![]()
The PDF3D License utility program window appears. This will show you the current license status, and allow you to activate a new license.
For full instructions on how to use the license utility, and setting up floating license servers, please see the separate document:
PDF3D-LLM_License_Setup_Guide.pdf
At the lower left corner of the license utility menus there is a Check for Updates button. This will compare the current installed version with the https://www.pdf3d.com/ to see is any more recent version is available. If yes, then please send an upgrade request.
The following illustrates a typical license setup session on Apple MacOSX.
Open the Finder, select Applications, navigate to the PDF3DReportGen area.
