What is a licence?
When you purchase a data program, you buy the right to install and use the software on the number of computers you specified and purchased a licence for.
You will receive a licence number as proof of having paid the licence fee. The licence number acts as a key that 'unlocks' functionality when you register the number within the program.
The licence number controls your access to the software. You can use the program without a licence number, however this will only grant you access to an evaluation version. This kind of version is only available for a limited number of days.
The licence number is used for one or more of the following circumstances
You are a new Mamut customer and are using the program for the first time.
You wish to extend the period of the existing Mamut Service Agreement.
You wish to increase the number of program users.
You are going to upgrade your version of the program and want additional functionality.
Where do I find the licence number?
As a new customer, you will receive a licence number. If you have purchased the program from a retailer, you will find a letter containing the licence number within the product pack. If you have bought the program directly from Mamut, you will receive an e-mail with your licence number. Should you not have an e-mail address, you will receive a letter with the licence number by post.
How do I register my licence number?
The licence number is registered either by filling in the registration form during the first time startup of the program, or by going to Help - About - Register Licence number when in the program. Find out more here.
Downloading licence files
When you renew your licence agreement, upgrade to a more extensive Mamut program, expand your program with additional products, or increase the number of user licences, you are required to download the licence file in order to update your licence information. The new functionality will then become available. Usually, you can update your licence information directly via the Internet by clicking on Help - About - Download licence file. Find out more here.
Read from licence file
Under certain circumstances you will be asked to read in your licence information from a file you receive from the software supplier, either on a disc or via e-mail. The feature can be found under Help - About. Find out more here.
Manage licence information
The functions under Help - About - Manage Licence Information provide you with an overview of all your licences for websites, main as well as additional products. You can also adjust which machines the licences apply to, if you are operating with a multi-user installation, how you want to divide the licences for additional products, and which of your websites should be active at any given point. Find out more here.
Users without Internet access
During the registration of your licence number you will be asked whether you have access to the Internet. If you answer 'No' to this question, you will have the option of printing a licence letter, which you will need to send to Mamut by post or fax. Once we have registered your licence letter we will send you a licence disk in the post. You need to import the licence disk content into the program, by going to Help - About - Read from licence disk. Read more here.
