Question
I'm curious about the method of authenticating the DESIGN+ license.
Answer
There are two methods for authenticating MIDAS programs: "Web Authentication" when connected to the internet, and "Hardware Lock Authentication" using a USB device inserted into the main body.
The two authentication methods are selected at the time of product purchase and need to be followed accordingly when using the program.
Below, the process for each authentication method is classified for your reference. Please follow the appropriate process for authentication.
1. Run 'Register Protection License'
After launching ADS, click on the 'Help' tab at the top of the screen and select 'Register Protection'.
2. After selecting the authentication method, proceed with the authentication process
After selecting the authentication method at the top of the activated "Register Protection License" window, proceed with the authentication.
