Sharing a licence over a network
This process will need to be
followed on each machine that wishes to share the ArtiCAD licence across the
same network.
Ensure that all machines are
running the same Version and Build of ArtiCAD/BathCAD/BedCAD and that they are
all on the same connection.
Select the PC or Wi-Fi icon in the bottom right of the Windows Bar (at the bottom of your screen).
Select ‘Network & Internet Settings’ from the pop-up.
From the menu on the left, select either ‘Wi-Fi’ or ‘Ethernet’ – this will depend on the connection you have to that machine.
A list will display in the middle section of this interface, select the network that says ‘Connected’.
When you have opened the connection, ensure that you have ‘Private’ selected.
Repeat the process on the other machines you wish to share the licence with.
