Firewalls, Virus Checkers
Occasionally, your Virus Checker or Firewall may not allow you to:
| • | Download MechDesigner from our website |
| • | Run MechDesigner as Administrator |
| • | Check your Product Key and License with the CopyMinder® database. |
You may need to:
| • | Restore MechDesigner from 'Quarantine' |
| • | Add IP addresses for the CopyMinder database servers. |
Exception Paths
Add these Exception Paths to your Virus Checker:
| • | C:\Program Files\PSMotion\ |
| • | C:\Program Files\PSMotion\SW_TLByyyy_64\ (Note: yyyy is the release year). |
| • | C:\ProgramData\HW\MD32_0_0\ |

CopyMinder Database Server IP Addresses and Firewalls
|
MechDesigner must check the CopyMinder database to make sure your license is valid.
The IP addresses for the CopyMinder databases are.
| • | Primary Server : 89.200.137.136 |
| • | Secondary Server: 92.60.122.223 |
Please add these IP addresses to your Firewall white-list.
These servers are run by Microcosm Ltd., the developer of the CopyMinder Software Protection System.
|
The pop-up message '34' will show if you cannot contact the CopyMinder database and servers – /F indicates it is a trial installation.
Typically, you will need to add the IP addresses to your Firewall white-list.
