Authorize VIP Sketchers

 
     

If you’ve purchased a sketch license from one of the vendors in our WinTOTAL marketplace, you can quickly and easily enable WinTOTAL’s integration with that software via the sketch configuration options.  To enable WinTOTAL’s integration with a vendor from the WinTOTAL marketplace…

  1. From the Sketching settings in WinTOTAL Configuration Utility, choose the sketch vendor from the Choose your sketcher drop-down menu.
  2. Then, click the Register link that appears.
  3. If WinTOTAL detects that you’ve already installed the software you selected, you’re prompted about how you want to authorize your sketcher.  Mark your preferred option and click Next. Options are:
    • Online – Authorizes your sketcher for full use in WinTOTAL.
    • Manual – Temporarily authorizes your sketcher when you supply an authorization code from your sketch vendor.  You must register online within 14 days in order to fully authorize your license in WinTOTAL. 
    • Demo Mode – This mode is demo only. In many cases, when you draw a sketch in demo mode, the final sketch is labeled as “Demo Only.”  Only choose this option if you do not already have a fully licensed sketcher you intend to use with WinTOTAL as it is only intended for demonstration purposes.
  4. Depending on your authorization choice, several things may occur…
    • If you register in Demo Mode, you’re immediately able to draw demo sketches through WinTOTAL.
    • If you register Manually, you’re prompted to enter the authorization code you received from your sketch vendor.  Once you enter your authorization code, your sketcher is fully activated for use in WinTOTAL for 14 days.  After 14 days, you must register online to complete the authorization process.
    • If you register Online, WinTOTAL connects to the Internet and authorizes your license.  Depending on the types of license you have purchased from your sketch vendor, several things may occur.
    • If an available single user license is found, you’re prompted to use it to authorize your sketching software.  Click Yes to use your available license.
    • If WinTOTAL finds both an available single user license and a Network license of your sketcher, you’re prompted to choose your license. Click either Network or Individual to indicate your choice. Then, click OK in the confirmation screen that appears.
    • If WinTOTAL is unable to find a license available, you’re prompted to visit the VIP Marketplace to purchase a license or to run the sketcher in demo mode.  Click Demo Mode or Marketplace to indicate your choice or click Cancel to address the issue at a later time.
  5. Click Save when finished to save your changes.

If you need to dissolve this integration at any later point in time, repeat steps 1-3 and then click the UnRegister link.
