Activation and Registration

The Tetra4D Automate license is based on two elements that will be provided by the Tetra4D support:

  • A serial number,

  • A “Module” file that defines the available CAD readers and optional writers.
    Remark:
    The module file is tied to the serial number.
    Make it sure that the Module file you are using corresponds to the Serial number.
    To confirm, open the Module file and check the line “TetraLicence”.

The Tetra4D Automate licensing system makes it possible to activate your license on-line if the computer is connected to the Internet, or off-line if the computer is not connected to the Internet.
