    Q: How do I upgrade my Site Protection Server from one version of Vectorworks to another?

     

    A: For dongle-based and MAC address-based network site licenses you must download and apply the license file using the download button in the license column of the customer portal. Once the .lic file is downloaded, you can replace the existing .lic on your server, using the Site Protection Server app and the revoke function. For internet-activated licenses, your existing activation key must be re-added with each new version of Vectorworks.

     

    Q: Does the Site Protection Server licensing use the same HASP HL or HASP4 dongles as C series?

    A: That is correct, Site Protection Server (SPS) can use a single license SafeNet HL USB dongle and is also backwards compatible with older network dongles in case of users upgrading to 2013 or later.


    Q:How do I set up the License Manager? 

    A: The new Reprise License Manager (RLM) runs along with the Site Protection Server application, so no need to worry as before with latest operating systems. Here is a video that covers the installation.




    Q: What installer is needed for Site Protection Server?

    A: The Site Protection Server application is located as part of the contents of the Vectorworks installer. 


    Q: Can the Site Protection Server be installed on a virtual server?

    A: Normally it must be installed on a physical server. If you require alternate configurations contact Tech@vectorworks.net.

    How do I switch between 2 license servers while in Vectorworks 2025?  Both Windows & Mac versions.

     

    Also, how do I change the program's modules?

     

    Normally, the license server dialogue would appear at the program's start unless "do not show at startup" is checked.

    After checking the "do not show at startup," we cannot change the server address or modules to load.

    @AMPD Computing Services You can point to a particular server by IP address in the Login Settings dialog. This is also where you would select a module. You can edit the Logindialog.xml file in order to pre-populate the Login Settings dialog, or to disable "Don't show at startup" in order to see this dialog upon launch again. Here is an article with more information:
