Software licensing agreements explicitly prohibit unauthorized use. When you bypass license validation, you‘re violating the terms under which the software is distributed.
– When activating on a machine without internet access, EPLAN generates a license request file ( .Req ). That file is submitted to the EPLAN license portal, which returns a validation code ( .VBC or .LIC file). Importing this code completes the activation. Validation Code Eplan P8 2.7
The validation code system served EPLAN well for many years. Its physical dongle-based approach provided: That file is submitted to the EPLAN license
| Characteristic | Description | |---|---| | | The validation code is directly connected to the physical USB dongle, not to a specific computer | | Multi-Computer Support | A single-user license with a dongle can be activated on up to three different computers using the same validation code | | Portability | Users can move the dongle between workstations to use the software at different locations | | Version Restriction | Validation codes only work with EPLAN version 2.7 and earlier; they are incompatible with newer releases | Validation Code Eplan P8 2.7
The code links your software license to a specific hardware configuration or a USB dongle. Why EPLAN Requests a Validation Code
If the software requires a direct code entry, you must acquire it through official company channels.
