BCT Support

The certificate number is written on an extra sheet of paper in the BCT software package.

It is also saved in the license file. Just open the file e.g. bctv170.dat (170 = UG V17) with an text editor and look for something like "VENDOR_STRING=??-??????????"

BCT Products need an environment variable "BCT_EOMS_DIR" that refers to the installation directory. This directory contains a subdirectory called "bct_def", that contains the startfiles: eoms_set.cmd (Windows) and eoms_export.sh (Unix). The variable "BCT_LICENSE_FILE" defines the path to the license file.

Node Locked licenses (Cert No. NC-??????????) are only available on one specific CAD workstation. The software is locked to this machine by the LAN-ID of the network card.

Floating licenses (Cert No. FC-??????????) are available on multiple CAD workstations via license server. BCT Software checks if there are at the moment free licenses available on the server. The software is locked to the server name and LAN-ID of the network card.

Please separate the single addresses of the server with a semicolon.

As soon as you enter the LAN ID, we will bundle all the certificates of this computer to a single license file.

The physical network address is worldwide unique and is required for the generation of your specific license file.
