Licensing / Initialization of Vertec

To enter a new license code, open the License Manager via the menu button Settings > Change license and enter the new key.

New license codes can be entered via Desktop App, cloud app or web app.

Note: With the setting     Show License Dialog = False in Vertec.ini file can disable the display of this option. Default is True.

If Vertec is started with an empty database, an initialization wizard will appear first for the configuration of the default data. Empty database in this context means: No license information was found in the database.

The following information is requested:

• Country (Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Other)
• Language (Windows language, German (Switzerland), German (Germany), French, English, Italian)

When you click Next, the License Manager will appear where you can enter your license information.

When starting an unlicensed Vertec database, the License Manager appears.

You have the following options to choose from:

Only for Firebird databases. If you choose this option, you can then select the product line and modules as well as the quantity of users as you like and explore the Vertec software in all its variants.

The only limitation is that you can only enter a maximum of 100 new entries. A demo license can be converted to a full license at any time.

Choose this option if you have purchased Vertec and want to use it regularly.

In the following dialog, enter company name (licensee name) and license code.

The license code can be found in Customer Portal under MY VERTEC.

To retrieve the license code, enter your DB code and after entering the code, click on Jetzt Lizenzcode abrufen . You can find the DB code as Top described under Settings > Change license.

If you are performing a new installation outside of office hours and do not have a license code available, simply leave the License Code field blank. The License Manager will issue you a temporary installation license, valid for 10 days. In the following dialog, select the configuration details (product line, modules, users) that you have purchased.

A temporary installation license is only available for new installations and only for Firebird databases. For an update installation or installation on MSSQL server, you must have a license code. You will usually receive this in the email when you send the software.

At the end you will receive a summary on which you can view the configuration and license information again.

Initialization performs the following operations in Vertec:

• The surface language (will be changed immediately).
• The system setting Language for interface language is initialized. If Windows language is selected, Language = ““ and Vertec always follows the Windows language preference.
• The key currency is set.
• The VAT types are set (For country=Other, all VAT types are created with 0%).
• The corresponding ZIP code list is imported (CH, DE, AT).

After completing the initialization process, Vertec must be restarted. The default user name for the login dialog is Administrator. Starting with version 6.7, this user is assigned a default password for the first time login after installation and is prompted to set a new password after the first login. Vertec Passwort Minimallänge in the system settings is preset to 6 symbols.

Backward Compatibility Note: Exist installations have a new system setting Vertec Anmeldung mit leerem Passwort möglich . The default value of this setting is Yes, so that after an update everything runs the same as before. However, we recommend changing this for existing installations as well.
