There are two licensing methods for C-Werk:
- License file only
The license file contains data on basic hardware configuration (motherboard, processor, hard disk, video adapter, RAM, and network card) of all Servers. If you change any 2 of the basic hardware components, your license will be invalid. For example, this is the case when you change both CPU and motherboard. However, changing a graphics card or upgrading RAM will not affect the license.
This is why when working with C-Werk you should bear in mind the following:
- The activation request should be sent from the computer that will host the C-Werk Server.
- You can upgrade your license only if you retain the initial basic hardware configuration of all the Servers.
- It is not possible to transfer a license from one computer to another.
- License file + Guardant dongle.
this method allows replacing server hardware and transferring the license to another computer. To activate C-Werk via this method, contact Grundig to receive a license file and Guardant dongle.
If you already have a Guardant dongle, you can perform activation yourself. To do so, connect the Guardant dongle to the computer that you wish to activate and perform the standard activation steps.
Note
If you install virtualization products such as VirtualBox, VmWare etc. , this may affect the license. Should you encounter this problem, you are advised to uninstall all virtualization products or apply for a new license file
