Installing Product Keys and performing an Offline Installation using Design Studio 11.5.0

Summary

This guide describes the basic steps for installing Product Keys and performing an Offline Installation on computers not connected to the Internet using Ecrion Design Studio 11.5.0 and newer.

You can install Design Studio product keys on a computer behind a firewall or proxy (or with no Internet connection), however, you will need to access a server that has an internet connection to obtain and activate the product key.

Step 1 - Preparing for Installation

Log in to your Ecrion Account from a computer with Internet Connection. Navigate to Product Keys and click on the Key ID you want to install.

Select Install License and copy the string generated in the License key field.

Step 2 - Add the Product Key to Design Studio

Select Account from the File tab of any Ecrion Design Studio Tools.

From the Account section, select Install Product Key. Choose Install using a Product Key from More Options menu.

Paste the string copied from Ecrion Account under the field displayed in Design Studio, then click Install.

Step 3 - Activate Product Key

To use EDS Product Keys, you need to activate them first. Select Activate to complete the activation.

If the computer does not have an Internet connection, select Activate Offline from the More Options menu.

Copy the string generated in the Request Code field.

Paste the string in the Activation key box from your Ecrion Account, then select Install.

Next, copy the string generated in the Ecrion Account box, under the Activation Key field from Design Studio. Click Activate to finalize the installation.

Your license should now be activated. In File\Account, you can now see the Name and Expiration Date information of the product key you installed.

Step 4 - Uninstall Product Keys 

To uninstall Product Keys Offline, select Uninstall Product Key from File\Account of any Design Studio Tools and choose Uninstall Product Key Offline from More Options.

Select the license that you want to uninstall from the list, then click Uninstall.

Next, you still need to uninstall the product key from your Ecrion Account as well, to be able to use it on another machine. Start by copying the string generated in Design Studio.

Sign in to Ecrion Account and select the Key ID of the product key that needs to be uninstalled. Select Uninstall License and paste the string copied above. Click Uninstall to finish the process.

Your product key should now be uninstalled.
