Devices

In the Devices view of CADMATIC eShare a system administrator can view, import, and export a list of eGo devices, host IDs and license information. The device list can be used to renew the license information. In the Devices view also activation keys for eGo can be added and deleted.

  • To open the Devices view, select Devices in System Administration.

The list of devices is synchronized from eGo. Old client versions or expired licenses are highlighted in red and new licenses are highlighted in blue.

New License means that the new license has been entered in eShare but it has not yet been taken into use, because the current license in eGo is still valid.

When eGo uses activation key licensing, the time in license expiration column indicates the time of the next online verification.
