# License System

HOOPS Envision for Desktop is a licensed software system. The license is feature specific, and you will need a specific license to run add on components such as Envision `Export component` and Envision `ImportCae Component`.

You can generate your license at https://developer.techsoft3d.com/ or by contacting support@techsoft3d.com.

In order for the Example programs to work as expected, please replace the placeholder license file License/hoops_license.h with your own license file.

The license code is used to initialize the Core component:

    #include "hoops_license.h"

    ...

    // Initialize the parts of HOOPS Envision for Desktop that we'll use.
    g_componentInstance = cee::CoreComponent::initialize(HOOPS_LICENSE);
