Maptek Account Help

Maptek Account is a cloud licensing platform. This means that licences for applications can be acquired and managed through a cloud-based portal, rather than through superseded methods such as file or hardware (e.g. dongle) based approaches. Maptek Account makes licensing more seamless and flexible, and removes much of the inconvenience and limitation of earlier methods.

Whenever you use a Maptek product licensed through Maptek Account, a licence seat is acquired in real time via an internet connection. A licence seat can be allocated from a pool of seats, meaning licences can be shared amongst multiple users. Licences usually require an active connection to Maptek Account to be maintained for the duration of use. However, you can also borrow licences to use on an offline computer for a fixed period of time (see Licensing Modes > Borrowed licences).

This help site explains how to set up and use Maptek Account and outlines the structure and functionality of the user interface. Your Maptek Account is managed through an online portal at account.maptek.com.
