Introduction
Jump to Contents / Navigation
CalMAN Display Calibration Software now includes an enhanced license manager, beginning with release version 5.7.2. The new CalMAN product license consists of two parts, a License ID and a License Password.
When you purchase a CalMAN product, you will receive a product license email from Portrait Displays Customer Service that looks similar to the example below (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Typical CalMAN product license email.
CalMAN License Information
This first section of the email provides your License ID and License Password for your purchased CalMAN product. You need to copy the License ID and License Password into the License screen for your purchased software to
activate the product. This License Activation process is detailed below.
Note: The last, License Portal section of the email provides your personal Customer ID and Customer Password for logging into the CalMAN License Portal. See the
CalMAN Setup Guide: License Manager

License Portal section at the end of this document for more information on using the License Portal to manage your contact information and view your CalMAN license(s).
License Activation
After you have installed CalMAN software on a desired computer, you will need to activate the software on that computer with a Portrait-supplied License ID and License Password. A License ID and License Password will activate CalMAN software for use on only one computer. The CalMAN computer will normally need to be connected to the internet to perform a license activation.
Note: Beginning with CalMAN 2016 R2 (5.7.2.60), the installer will deactivate the license for any previously installed version of CalMAN. The new CalMAN installation will then need to be activated with current CalMAN license credentials.
If offline activation is required, see the Offline License Activation section, below.
You can activate a CalMAN software license online in one of two ways:
1. Activate upon first software launch.
2. Activate from within CalMAN.

Note: The License Password is case sensitive.

License Transfer

A CalMAN license can be transferred from one computer to another.
To transfer a CalMAN license, you first deactivate the software license on the current CalMAN computer, following the license deactivation method below. You then activate the software license on a new computer installation of CalMAN, following the License Activation method outlined above.
Note: Each CalMAN license is limited to ten deactivations. If there is a reasonable case, Portrait Displays Customer Service can issue additional deactivations. [email protected]

Offline License Activation
Jump to Contents / Navigation
If a CalMAN computer cannot be connected to the internet for automatic online license activation, you will need to manually activate the CalMAN license. You will generate a license request from the CalMAN computer, download a license activation file from another computer that has internet access, copy the activation file to the CalMAN computer, and load the activation file into CalMAN.
On the CalMAN computer that requires license activation, open the CalMAN main menu and select Licensing.
1. On the License dialog (Figure 11), enter your License ID and License Password.
Note: The License Password is case sensitive.
2. Click the Generate Request button.

CalMAN will generate a file named Request.html and open a “Save Offline Activation Request” dialog (Figure 12).
1. Specify a convenient location to save the file on the CalMAN computer.
2. Then, copy the Request.html file to any other computer that has internet access (e.g. using a flash drive).
IMPORTANT: CalMAN needs to remain open from the time the Request file is generated until the Response activation file is loaded into CalMAN.

On the computer with internet access, open the Request.html file. The following web page will open (Figure 13).
1. Select Download and save the resulting Response.xml file to a convenient location.
