Licensing

Admin Content

You must have a valid license for 12d Synergy to run. A license allows you to create a fixed number of users and may contain a number of additional modules, which unlock other features of the software. Some of these modules may be user bound, such as the Advanced Data Management module. User bound modules unlock features only for the users that are given access to that module.

If there is an issue with the license, the 12d Synergy Server will still start but will prevent most operations until the problem is corrected. You can check the 12d Synergy Server log for more details about the problem.
