Licensing and Demo Mode
Demo Mode
When Curve4/+ is run without a license (username & serial number), it runs for an unlimited time in demonstration mode.
When in demo mode you can open all the tools and navigate around anywhere you like. Beside each tool’s Measurements list is a popup menu with many different sample files available to test. Curve+ will open them in demo OR licensed modes, making training of others easier when your software is licensed.
Licensing and AuthCodes
Licenses can be purchased directly from CHROMiX or from one of our resellers.
Licenses are typically delivered initially as an “AuthCode”, which is a type of coupon, enabling you to register your license and obtain a serial number for your computer platform. Don’t enter the AuthCode into Curve4/+’s license dialog as it will have no effect. Once an AuthCode is registered it is no longer needed and cannot be used again.
AuthCodes for Curve4/+ begin with: “Curve(4/5)(VCC)Auth-…” (the 4/5 and VCC part might vary)
If you have an AuthCode and need to register for a serial number follow this link:
https://www.chromix.com/curve+/#register
The username / serial number combination you receive from registration unlocks Curve4/+’s functions depending on the level of license you obtained.
Serial numbers for Curve4/+ begin with “Curve4…” or “Curve5..” and are followed by V, VC or VCC depending on the license levels (for Verify, Verify+Calibrate, or Complete).
Curve4/+ serial numbers also have a trailing “M” or “W” indicating the license is for Macintosh or Windows. Serial numbers can only be used on the platform for which they were created. Moving to another platform will require a cross-grade license or, if you have the need to run on both platforms, cross-platform licenses are available.
Determining Your License Level
In Curve4/+, select “Curve4/+ Licensing…” from the Curve4/+ application menu (on Mac) or the Window menu (on Windows). The various license levels are listed and the ones which are licensed are indicated.
Upgrading Licenses
At CHROMiX we believe in protecting your investment, so if you change your mind and want access to more functions in Curve4/+, there are multiple paths to upgrade your existing license.
The Verify license can be upgraded to Calibrate or Complete and Calibrate can be upgraded to Complete via upgrade modules
To see your upgrade choices, go to the Curve+ store page and click on Upgrade Choices. Enter your username and serial number information and you’ll see the upgrades available for your license level.
