Software licensing
Without a valid licence, the Mastersizer application software will not function. The
software automatically generates a licence on the computer that is connected to the
instrument. After first installation of the software you will be prompted to accept
this license.
 Click Accept licence to accept the license file. If the software was set up by
your administrator or Malvern Instruments, you may not see this window -
this means that the software is already activated.
Sharing a licence file
You can share a Mastersizer application software licence so that other computer can
use the software without having an instrument connected. This could be useful if
you wanted to undertake analyses on measurement files whilst away from instru-
ment.
Note
The licence file contains the identification of the user and the instrument
from which it was generated. Do not share the licence outside of your
authorised user group.
Mastersizer 3000E basic software users are restricted to use of the software
only on the computer that is attached to the Mastersizer 3000E. Licences
cannot be shared.
If multi-workstation use is required, upgrading to the extended software is
required.
