The License Management Tool is launched from:

Windows Start Button> All Programs> DriveWorks{Version Number}> Tools> DriveWorks License Management (OS type)

To Repair a License

A license can become untrusted for a number of reasons, the more common of which are:

• When a machine has been restored from a backup
• When a machine has had key hardware components added or replaced
• When time and date settings have been altered
• When the MAC address of a machine changes (can occur on VM's that do not have a static MAC address assigned)
• When Windows updates have affected trusted storage

If the License Manager displays a license as Untrusted please see Repair License.
