Dear Valued CAM Logic Customer,
Last week, Siemens PLM officially launched the latest release (ST4) of its industry leading design software,Solid Edge, at their Users Event in Huntsville, AL.
Solid Edge ST4 (V104) node-locked pre-registration is available NOW. All customers using node-locked licenses are affected by changes to Solid Edge licensing from Version 104 onward.
Solid Edge ST4 modifies the current web-based node-locked "Product Activation" method such that the license is no longer based on the machine's disk serial number. Starting with Solid Edge ST4, license files are based on the machine's Solid Edge composite host ID number (SE-CID).
Important notes:
ˇ The SE-CID is a number unique to each machine.
ˇ SE ST4 (V104) license files are not backward compatible with ST3 (V103) and earlier releases.
ˇ The Solid Edge composite host number is different than the NX composite host ID. These numbers are not interchangeable.
All active node-locked machines need to be updated to the SE-CID number using the standard product activation process. Updating your SE-CID now will allow your permanent ST4 license files to be provided when Solid Edge ST4 releases in July 2011.
Here are the simple steps to pre-register your existing node-locked machines for ST4 (V104):
2. Log in using your WebKey account and password
3. Click Product Activation
4. In the Version drop down list, select 1035. Click Continue
6. Click "Update SE CID" text beside an existing machinea. If you are on the machine that you are updating, click "Get Number" b. If you are not on the machine being updated, manually enter the SE CID*
7. Then click Submit Your machine is now updated and pre-registered with the new SE-CID. Your permanent Solid Edge ST4 (V104) license file will be issued with the new release.
* The tool to manually obtain the SE-CID can be downloaded from:
