Use a trusted anti-virus product. Make sure it has the latest anti-virus definition/signature files.

Add exemptions for MechDesigner file types and folder locations - see also: Files on your PC, Firewalls, Virus-Checkers

Software Protection

We use CopyMinder® for our software protection.

When you buy MechDesigner, we email you a Product Key.

You need the Product-Key to run MechDesigner the first time, or to move MechDesigner to a different computer.

If you have a Network-License (also called a Floating-License), your I.T. department should install MechDesigner. Your I.T. department should keep the Product Key.
