4. Click the License tab
5. Select the update license option
6. Enter in the required information

For earlier versions of SoftLINK, follow the steps below:

2. Double Click on the file called PCILIC.EXE
3. Enter in the required information
4. Select Generate

You do not need to do the above on all of your Clients machines. If you generate the license key on one machine, you can then use the SoftLINK Deploy utility to distribute this license file to the other workstations that have SoftLINK installed. For details on how to do this please follow the directions below.
