Standalone
A standalone licence is installed on the computer that is running the DNV software. The licence file is linked to the specific hardware of the computer it is initiated on; hence the licence file cannot then be shared to another computer.
An online connection is required for the initial licence installation, after which the PC can be offline for up to 45 days before refreshing. To refresh, simply open the software with internet access. The 45 days will be reset every time the software is launched whilst internet access is available.
Obtaining your access key
A designated Company Licence Administrator will retrieve an access key code from https://mysoftware.dnv.com, which they will forward to the end user. Only designated Company Licence Administrators have access to these access key codes. The access key is obtained in the Access key section of the licences tab. One access key will provide access all products you are entitled to. Click on the white box to open the Access Management page. Then click Manage product, where the access key can be copied.
Installing your licence
The access key is installed in the software using the licence activation tool, which will appear when you try to start Phast or Safeti without a licence present.
After initially entering your access key the licence activation tool will display the products and add-ons available for activation. The relevant products and add-ons should be selected for activation using the checkboxes, then activated by clicking on the "Activate" button.
Once you have activated your access key the tool will show you the products and add-ons you have selected. You can then use the "Restart Application" button to launch the application and get started.
If you have another access key, further product add-ons can be activated using the "Activate a new licence" button.
Viewing your usage
The usage can be viewed by the designated Company Licence Administrator in My DNV Software in the Usage section of the Licences tab. This allows the account administrator to view the users currently using the licences.
