Component License Code

When you choose "Component Options" in a component's dialog you can set two License Codes. These protect the component at two levels.

1. Access to the component for "use".
2. Full access to open up, change, view the content etc of the component.

You do not need to protect components (in this case they can be fully accessed by any copy of SIMUL8).

License Code
The 6 digit code that the component author enters while creating the component. There are two of these for each component. They represent the two levels of protection. These license codes are known only to the author (and to the SIMUL8.com web server if the author chooses to have the server distribute the component).

Key
A different 6 digit code that the SIMUL8 user enters to be able to access the compoent. Again there are two of these, one for each level of protection.

SIMUL8 users can only get the key from the SIMUL8 web site when they enter their individual unique SIMUL8 license number (the main license number for their SIMUL8 in the form 1234-1234-1234). A key to open a component in one copy of SIMUL8 will not work in the next copy of SIMUL8. The key depends on both the original author license number and the main SIMUL8 license number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which of the two license codes do I enter when I upload a component for sale?
Use the license code for the level of access you want the user to get.

What if I want to charge different prices for different levels of access?
Upload the component twice with the two prices and the two different license codes.
