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.
