Summary

Once a license of the Standalone type has been activated, you can work in a self-contained, offline fashion. You can work fully offline, switching Altium NEXUS to an offline mode, and essentially severing the connection to Altium. However, if you are accessing your Standalone license for the very first time, or you have inadvertently deleted the license from your computer (and have no backup of the associated license file), you will need to activate (reactivate) the license. In this case, the Activate Standalone License dialog will enable a temporary connection with Altium, allowing you to sign in to your Altium account and activate/reactivate your Standalone License. Once successfully activated/reactivated, closing the dialog will place you back in a disconnected state.

You MUST be disconnected from Altium to access this dialog. To disconnect, click Account Preferences on the License Management page. Under the Altium Connection region of the  System – Account Management page of the Preferences dialog, select No, I wish to remain disconnected from Altium. Click OK to save these settings and return to the License Management page.
See Standalone Licensing for more information.

Access

The dialog is accessed when following these steps:

  1. Click the control at the top-right of the design space then select Licenses from the menu.
  2. On the License Management page, click the Activate license link.
