This guide details the standard online activation procedure for your NexBot Robotics 232-001 Offline Programming & Simulation Software License. Following these steps will enable all features of the software, including 3D simulation, collision detection, and cycle time analysis for supported NexBot robot series such as the R-50, R-100, C-10, and S-5.

Answer

Activation is handled through the NexBot License Manager application, which is installed alongside the main simulation software. You will need the License Key that was provided to you upon purchase of the NXB-GEN-232-001 license.

Prerequisites

• The NexBot Robotics Offline Programming & Simulation Software must be installed on your workstation.
• You must have the unique License Key provided with your NXB-GEN-232-001 purchase documentation.
• Your workstation must have an active internet connection for online activation.

Step-by-Step Activation Instructions

1. Launch the NexBot License Manager: Locate and open the 'NexBot License Manager' application. This is typically found in the Start Menu or Applications folder within the NexBot Robotics program group.
2. Initiate Activation: Within the License Manager, click on the 'Activate New License' or 'Add License' button.
3. Enter License Key: A dialog box will appear prompting you to enter your license key. Carefully type or paste the full license key for NXB-GEN-232-001 into the field provided. Ensure there are no extra spaces before or after the key.
4. Select Activation Method: Choose 'Online Activation'. This is the recommended and fastest method. The License Manager will securely connect to the NexBot Robotics activation server to validate your key.
5. Confirmation: Once the server validates the key, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that the activation was successful. The license details, including the expiration date (if applicable) and type (Single-Seat), will now appear in the main License Manager window.
6. Verification: Launch the main NexBot Robotics Simulation Software. The software should now open in fully licensed mode, with all programming and simulation features unlocked. Check the 'Help' > 'About' menu to confirm the license status.

Tips

• Single-Seat License: Remember that the NXB-GEN-232-001 is a single-seat license. It can only be active on one computer at a time. To move the license to a different computer, you must first deactivate it on the current machine using the 'Deactivate License' function in the License Manager.
• Firewall Issues: If online activation fails, ensure that your computer's firewall or network security policies are not blocking the NexBot License Manager from accessing the internet. You may need to add an exception for the application.
• Offline Activation: If the workstation cannot be connected to the internet, an offline activation option is available. This process involves generating a request file from the License Manager, transferring it to a computer with internet access to obtain an activation file from our portal, and then transferring that file back to the offline workstation. Please consult the software's user manual for detailed instructions on this procedure.
