About your Sedona Workbench license

Sedona Workbench is licensed for use on one host PC only. This is done using a digitally-signed license file specific to your computer’s unique “host ID”. Note that your host ID cannot be calcluated until after you install the Sedona Workbench software.

However, a license file is started for Sedona Workbench in each Sedona Framework Development Kit. These “unbound” license are stored on a licensing server, along with finished licenses. In any “unbound” license, there is a license key entry, a unique hexadecimal number. The specific license key for your Sedona Workbench is also printed on a form included in your Sedona Dev Kit.

Example License Key on a form

After you install and start Sedona Workbench, a license request web form automatically appears that shows your calculated host ID. In this form, you can enter your license key and contact information, and then submit it to finalize your license. See Finalizing your Sedona Workbench license.

NoteIf your Sedona Workbench PC does not have Internet connectivity, or if any other issue (firewall, web form, etc.) prevents communications with the licensing server, you can still manually request a license file via email. See Manually checking host ID and emailing a license request.

Online submittal via the license request form binds your host ID to that license instance. When you restart Sedona Workbench, the program automatically searches the licensing server, then finds and installs your license. You can then use Sedona Workbench without any further license checks.
