7. DewesoftX® license information
DS-CAN2 or any other Dewesoft device already comes with an embedded Dewesoft license. You can
check the license details with all the available options in the Licensing tab ❶by pressing the three
dotted buttons ❻. However if the user decides to upgrade the license with an additional extension,
DewesoftX® will require a new license registration. The registration can be made online ❷or offline by
importing an offline license ❸in case the system doesn’t have an internet connection. Offline license
can be pre-registered on a different PC with the internet connection. If needed, the license can also be
written on the actual device ❺.
Active and embedded licenses are seen under the Active licenses tab. If the license is recognized as
none active, it usually means that the wrong license was entered.

inoperative and should be protected against inadvertent operation. It is assumed that a more
riskless operation is not possible anymore if the system is damaged obviously or causes strange
noises. the system does not work anymore. The system has been exposed to long storage in
adverse environments. the system has been exposed to heavy shipment strain.
●Warranty void if damages caused by disregarding this manual. For consequential damages, NO
liability will be assumed!
●Warranty void if damage to property or persons caused by improper use or disregarding the
safety instructions.
●Unauthorized changing or rebuilding the system is prohibited due to safety and permission
reasons (CE).
●Be careful with voltages >25 VAC or >35 VDC! These voltages are already high enough in order to
get a perilous electric shock by touching the wiring.
●The product heats during operation. Make sure there is adequate ventilation. Ventilation slots
must not be covered!
●Only fuses of the specified type and nominal current may be used. The use of patched fuses is
prohibited.
●Prevent using metal bare wires! Risk of short circuit and fire hazard!
●DO NOT use the system before, during or shortly after a thunderstorm (risk of lightning and high
energy over-voltage). An advanced range of application under certain conditions is allowed with
therefore designed products only. For details please refer to the specifications.
●Make sure that your hands, shoes, clothes, the floor, the system or measuring leads, integrated
circuits and so on, are dry.
●DO NOT use the system in rooms with flammable gases, fumes or dust or in adverse
environmental conditions.
●Avoid operation in the immediate vicinity of high magnetic or electromagnetic fields,
transmitting antennas or high-frequency generators, for exact values please refer to enclosed
specifications.
●Use measurement leads or measurement accessories aligned with the specification of the
system only. Fire hazard in case of overload!
●Do not switch on the system after transporting it from a cold room to a warm room and vice
versa. The thereby created condensation may damage your system. Acclimatise the system
unpowered to room temperature.
●Do not disassemble the system! There is a high risk of getting a perilous electric shock.
Capacitors still might be charged, even if the system has been removed from the power supply.
●The electrical installations and equipment in industrial facilities must be observed by the security
regulations and insurance institutions.
●The use of the measuring system in schools and other training facilities must be observed by
skilled personnel.
●The measuring systems are not designed for use in humans and animals.
●Please contact a professional if you have doubts about the method of operation, safety or the
connection of the system.
