Air-gapped machines
Offline activation
For CAD workstations with no internet access. Nesting Expert can be activated without ever connecting the machine: four steps, one e-mail.
How it works
- On the offline machine: SOLIDWORKS → Nesting Expert → Licence → enter your key →Save request file…
- Copy that file to a computer with internet and e-mail it to support@nestingexpert.com. It contains your licence key, a machine fingerprint and the computer name, no model data.
- We send a signed licence file back, usually the same working day. It works only on the machine that produced the request.
- Back on the offline machine: Load licence file… Done.
An offline licence is valid for a year and renews the same way. It uses one seat, exactly like an online activation. It cannot be revoked or moved remotely: if you replace the machine, write to us and we issue a new file.
