  • Execute the application "digactivate.exe", which you will find in the installation directory of the licence server.
  • Select one of the 3 options for licence activation e.g. the option Activation via Internet.
  • Enter PowerFactory User name and password as stated in the licence agreement.
  • Return to the licence server directory and start the application "diglsvc32.exe".
  • Select Stop Service, then Start Service to restart the local licence server.
  • In PowerFactory: Open the Configuration and check the option on the Licence page (Workstation for local USB key, Server for server key).
