Renewing EventMeasure licenses

SeaGIS licence keys expire yearly on February 1st, which means we need to arrange for their renewal by mid-January. We have two types of SeaGIS licences: USB keys and Software Keys. The instructions on how to renew them are described below.

1. USB license keys
   • Contact the software distributor advising them that SeaGIS licence is about to expire and needs renewing. Let them know how many USB license keys need renewing. They should send back a V2C file attached to their reply, which will be used update the USB license keys. Download this file into a computer that has EM and CAL already installed.
   • Once the file is saved in the computer you will use to update the license keys, insert the USB license key.
   • Open a Windows file explorer window. This is the window you usually use to find files in your computer. You can open a new window by right clicking the Start button and clicking on File Explorer.
   • In this window, you need to navigate to the SeaGIS folder in your Program Files (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaGIS\). Inside this directory, you will find one folder for every SeaGIS program installed in your computer (e.g., CAL and EventMeasure). You will need to update the license for each one of them.
   • Inside the package folder, open the Executables folder, find the file hasprus.exe, and double click on it to open the program. Example directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaGIS\CAL\Executables.
   • When Hasprus opens, select the Apply License Update tab and locate the V2C file that you previously saved in the computer by clicking the ellipsis (…) button. Click the Apply Update button and you will be asked to save a file, this is not necessary, so click Cancel.
   • Open the SeaGIS software package that you just updated the licence for, and check the license has been updated. This will usually mean that you are now able to open the program.
   • Once you have verified the license is updated, you will need to do the same for every SeaGIS program installed in your computer.

2. Software keys
   • Contact the software distributor advising them that SeaGIS license is about to expire and needs renewing. Let them know how many software licence keys need renewing. They should reply to you with two keys and an options code. They should look something similar to the ones below:
     • Key 1: 06586CA904BB580714553C0
     • Key 2: F98FC64D44F6BD0728A04E5F0B8EA0
     • Options: 041C08043288041820041B58
   • In the computer using the Software License Key, open EventMeasure. A window with an Error with the license message will pop-up and it will ask you for a new key. Click Yes, enter Key 1 when prompted and click Ok. You will be prompted to enter Key 2 and once you enter it, EM will open.
   • Once the program has finished loading, select Options in the main menu and enter the Options code.
