Login Authentication allows temporary license check out while a Kubotek program is running, and automatic check in when the program is exited. It is an alternative to Activation Licensing.
 

Requirements

• Available only for standalone licneses with active maintenance/lease
• Requires internet connection, checks status every ~10 minutes (firewall must allow for this)
• Requires the license to be assigned to a specific user in the support site account
• Not accessable if using license activation (must return activation licenses first)

 

Initial Setup of Login Authentication

1. Return any current activations for the Kubotek product, (follow steps for Returning  a standalone activation in Retrieving a Standalone  Activation).

2. Log into the Kubotekkosmos Support Site. Select the My Software  option in the menu along the top. This will display all of the Kubotek products assigned to you. If your product is not on the list, have your account admin assign the product to you from the Account Admin Licenses option.

3. Select the More Details button to the right of your Kubotek product to reach the license details and product downloads page. A note under the Activation Code will make clear if the license is available or has already been checked-out.

Using Login Authentication

1. Start the product and if there is no activation on the workstation a dialog appears that contains both Login Authentication and Activation options.

2. Filling in the email and password section and choosing OK will start the Kubotek product.

3. Closing the Kubotek product will end the Login Activation session making it available on any other device.

4. Alternately, ending the Login Activation session can be done by logging into the Kubotek Kosmos support site choose logout of devices option.

NOTE: When a logout has occured and the Kubotek product is still running you will receive a "License has expired" error. It is possible to perform a File>Save operation, but all other functionality will be disabled.
