Licensing

Keynote Manager licenses can be purchased in two modes, standalone licenses or portable licenses. If you have already purchased, see the appropriate section below to activate your license. If you have not purchased you may do so when you are ready by visiting the Revolution Design purchase page.

A description of the licensing types is as follows:

1. Standalone License - This license is a traditional license scenario. Each license is tied to a specific computer and is activated once per machine. For example, if you purchase 3 standalone licenses you will receive an activation key good for activation on 3 separate computers. Once activated, licenses can only be moved to another computer by contacting Revolution Design and uninstalling the software from the previous machine.
2. Portable License - This license can also be called a network or floating license and is designed to allow the user to share a pool of licenses between multiple users. Portable licenses can be shared between any number of users but the total number of users may not exceed the total number of licenses available. For example, if you purchased 3 portable licenses you could install the program on 50 or more computers (no limit) but no more than 3 would be able to use the program at the same time. This license type requires internet connection to check out and return licenses, but licenses can be checked out from anywhere that connection is available. Portable licenses can also be checked out in one location, taken offline, and returned later when connection is available again.

To activate a Keynote Manager license you simply need to enter your activation key on the license dialog. The steps to activate a license are as follows:

1. Open Keynote Manager or Revit (for Keynote Manager +).
2. Enter your activation key and press the 'Activate' button - the dialog should now say 'Your license has now been activated' and show you your license type. If this is not the case please contact Revolution Design for assistance.
3. If your license is portable, there will be a check box stating 'Remember my license key on this computer'. Leave this box checked if you would like you key stored on the machine so that your portable license can be checked out automatically next time. Uncheck this if you are on a shared computer and do not want your license automatically stored on that machine.

You may see data about your license and/or modify it at any time by going to About -> License Information (Standalone Application) or Revolution Design Ribbon -> Keynote Manager + Panel -> About -> License Information (Revit integrated application).
