The purpose of making a context file is sending the current content of your dongle to BuildSoft. Based on that, we can generate a new upgrade file for your dongle.<\/p>\n

The procedure requires TWO\u00a0things\u00a0<\/strong>from you:<\/p>\n

1. Context file<\/h2>\n

Follow the steps below (watch movie with steps<\/a>):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open CodeMeter Control Center and select the dongle<\/strong>\u00a0for which you want to make the context file.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Click ‘License update’.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. A new window pops up. You’ll see ‘Welcome to the CmFAS Assistant’. Click ‘Next’.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. You’ll see ‘Create license request’. Click ‘Next’.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. You’ll see ‘Extend existing license’. Click ‘Next’.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. You’ll see ‘Choose the vendor’. Click ‘Next’.\"\"<\/a>
    \n \t\t
    \r\n \t\t\t
    I can't choose 'Vendor'?<\/div>\r\n \t\t\t
    \r\n \t\t\t\t
    \r\n \t\t\t\t\t

    The list is empty.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Go back one step with the arrow on the top left side.<\/li>\n
    2. Choose ‘Add license of a new vendor’.<\/li>\n
    3. Enter the Firm code ‘100684’.<\/li>\n
    4. Click ‘Next’.<\/li>\n
    5. Continue with the next step below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t<\/li>\n
    6. You’ll see\u00a0‘Please select file name’. This step will create the context file (= *.WibuCMRac-file). By default this file will be created in the \u00ab\u00a0Desktop\u00a0\u00bb directory. Do not change the name or the extension of this file!\u00a0<\/strong>Click ‘Commit’.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
    7. Click ‘Finish’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      2. Printscreen<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Open CodeMeter Control Center and select the dongle to make the print screen from. This should be the same dongle as selected in ‘1. Context file’. \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      2. Click on ‘Webadmin’.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      3. An internet page will open. You should see the columns ‘Valid Until’ and ‘Feature Map’.\"\"<\/a>
        \n \t\t
        \r\n \t\t\t
        Don't see 'Valid Until' and 'Feature Map'?<\/div>\r\n \t\t\t
        \r\n \t\t\t\t
        \r\n \t\t\t\t\t

        This is because you’re working with and older version of CodeMeter.\"\"<\/a>
        \nGo to\u00a0\u2018Content\u2019 > \u2018Licenses\u2019. In the overview, click on the number ‘100684’.        \"\"<\/a>
        \nYou’ll see the columns ‘Expiration Time’ and ‘Feature Map’ now. Continue with step 5.        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t<\/li>\n

      4. Take a printscreen<\/a> of this page. If needed, zoom out so you can see the entire list. If the list is too long, take 2 print screens. BuildSoft has\u00a0to be able to read the content your printscreen!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Send the info to BuildSoft<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Paste the printscreen(s) in an email and send it together with the context file to support@buildsoft.eu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
