SMS:Registering SMS

After installing SMS, it will need to be registered. Registration can be done with a password or with a hardware lock. When SMS is first launched, a dialogue box appears that has two options. The first button, Demo Mode, allows you to run SMS in demo mode. The second, Enable is used to enable the program. This is described below.

Passwords

If you are using a password to enable SMS, you will need to send information to your vendor about your machine to get your password. There are several ways you can send this information.

Register SMS with a Password

1. Start SMS and select the Register… button when the welcome screen appears. If the welcome screen does not appear automatically, select Register... from the Help menu in SMS.
2. Select License code for the Licensing method and enter the 7 digit alpha-numeric code that begins with the letter P. Click the Next > button.
3. If the registration is successful, click Finish to exit the Registration Wizard.
4. The Register SMS dialog displays the registered components, licensing method, and license expiration dates.

Demo Mode

If no valid license is detected, SMS runs in Demo Mode. All features of the software are enabled except printing, saving, and running models. This mode is intended to allow users to evaluate the software before making a purchase. Data sets, grids, or meshes can be read in, manipulated and viewed.

Evaluation Version

An evaluation version that is valid for 30-60 days may be requested by selecting the Evaluation button. You will be connected to a web utility, and a valid registration code will be sent to you via email. Once you receive the registration code, enter it into the dialogue box, and select register. Once you have evaluated SMS, please contact your vendor with any questions or to purchase.
