Getting a Viewer License

Created: April 30, 2020 | Updated: July 09, 2020 | Applies to versions: 3.1, 3.2, 4 and 5

Nexus message

This documentation page references Altium NEXUS/NEXUS Client (part of the deployed NEXUS solution), which has been discontinued. All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Check out the FAQs page for more information.

The Viewer License allows you to view Altium NEXUS without using or needing a license. Your AltiumLive account is all you need to create and obtain a Viewer License. The Viewer License has no expiration date and the subscription date is set to the date of the request for the license. The Altium NEXUS Viewer license is linked to your AltiumLive account and is therefore not accessible from the Dashboard.

In order to obtain a Viewer License, open the License Management page by choosing Licenses from the Current User drop-down at the top-right of the design space. 

A Viewer License is available only when no other licenses are being used. To create and obtain a Viewer License, click the Get Viewer License option at the bottom of the License Management page. 

The Viewer License Request dialog opens. Click the Create License button to create a Viewer License that is linked to your AltiumLive account.

Once you have created a Viewer License, the Get Viewer License option is no longer accessible on the License Management page. This indicates that the license has already been made available for this account.
If at any time you would like to deactivate or remove the Viewer License, contact Altium Customer Support.
