Licensing

Use this page to understand ViziCAL's licences, and to activate, check, release and move them.

Each computer that runs ViziCAL needs its own licence. A licence works on one computer at a time.

Licence types

The shop sells one kind of licence, the Workstation licence, for one workstation each. It's shown as Connected on the Licences page.

Some organisations also have Standalone licences from earlier orders. A standalone licence works on its own computer only: results and reports stay on that computer.

All licences calibrate and check displays and save PDF reports in the same way.

The web service keeps your workstations' results, reports and visual checks in your web account, so you can see every workstation in one place. It's on or off for your whole organisation, and it's charged yearly for each workstation using a licence. See Web service & billing. While the web service is off, the app still calibrates, but Upload Results isn't available.

Activate a licence

Activate a licence on each computer, either by signing in with your web account or with a licence key. See Activate your licence.

Activate without internet

If the computer can't reach the internet, contact your distributor or MyXrayDose support. They may ask for the computer's CPU Key:

  1. Open ViziCAL and click Activate License.
  2. Click Copy CPU Key.
  3. Paste it into your email.

Note

Treat the CPU Key as private. Send it only to your distributor or MyXrayDose support.

Check a licence

In the app, open Settings → License and click Check License Active. A Licence Status message says whether the licence is active.

If ViziCAL can't confirm the licence, for example because the website can't be reached, your calibrations stay applied. ViziCAL Apply tells you, so you can check the licence or contact support.

Release a licence

Release a licence when you replace a computer or stop using it. You can then activate the licence on another computer.

Warning

After you release a licence, that computer is unlicensed and its displays are no longer calibrated.

From the computer

  1. Open ViziCAL.
  2. Open Settings → License.
  3. Click Release License.
  4. Read the message and confirm.

A Licence Status message confirms the licence was released.

From your web account

Use this if the computer is broken or no longer available.

  1. Sign in to your web account.
  2. Open Technical → Licences.
  3. Find the licence and click Release.
  4. Click Release licence.

The computer's history is saved to a ZIP archive under History archives, and emailed to your Customer Admins. See Licences.

Move a licence to another computer

  1. Release the licence on the old computer (see Release a licence).
  2. Install ViziCAL on the new computer (see Install the app).
  3. Activate the licence on the new computer (see Activate your licence).

The new computer starts with no calibrations: calibrate its displays.

If ViziCAL says the licence can't be released, read the reason in the message and contact your distributor or MyXrayDose support.

Trial

Before a licence is activated, ViziCAL may run as a trial. ViziCAL Apply shows how many trial days are left, with a link to activate. When the trial ends, activate a licence to keep calibrating.
