Registration Overview

CSD System software is licenced on a node-locked basis. Your site has a Licence of Access Agreement that entitles you to install the CSD System on a specified number of machines.

 

The first time you attempt to run any of the CSD System components (i.e. ConQuest 1.14, Mercury 3.0, Mogul 1.4) on a particular machine you will be prompted to register the installation using the process described below.

 

Note: For those institutions with a site licence an IP-based licencing mechanism is available. This mechanism provides site-wide access to the CSD without the need to register individual machines (see IP-Based Licensing).

 

CSD System software registrations are machine specific. You must register a single CSD System component (i.e. ConQuest, Mogul, IsoStar client or Mercury CSD) separately on each machine on which it is to be used. This results in a different Validation Number for each machine.

 

1.	If you already have a current CSDS licence, hit the Locate file containing valid licence button (see Specifying an Existing Licence File).

2.

Enter your Site Code and 6-digit Confirmation Code in the dialogue box shown below (the registration window shown is for ConQuest, however a similar window will appear if using Mogul or Mercury for the first time). These codes are supplied in a letter accompanying this release. IMPORTANT: confirmation codes for all sites have changed with the 2012 release. Please ensure you use your updated codes when registering. (In some circumstances the Codes will already be displayed in the dialogue box):

 

3.	Attempt to register online by hitting the Register Online button in the dialogue box (see Online Registration).

4. If your machine is not connected to the internet or if online registration fails you must register offline (see Offline Registration).
