These are topics about your Anaqsim license - how to activate it and check its status. This section applies to the licensed versions of Anaqsim: ‘Quick Designer’ and ‘Deep Designer’. (The Demo version of Anaqsim does not require a license).
License Status this Computer
Selecting this prints the current license information for this computer to the run log. If a valid license is present, it prints the expiration date.
License Key Activation Status
When prompted, enter your activation key code (sent via email to the purchaser at the time of the purchase) and press OK.
The implementation of licenses has been changed from June 2024. Anaqsim version 2024-1-0 or later will be required to check a license key activation status of a license purchased after June 2024.
Each license key provides a single activation license for activation on a single computer. Each key remains valid whilst an active monthly or annually recurring subscription is in place. A subscription may be cancelled at any time and the associated license will remain valid until the end of the period that has been paid for (i.e. the full month or year from date of purchase / date of last automatic renewal payment). For more details please see Licensing Anaqsim. You may view and manage your active subscriptions by signing into your Anaqsim Account which will have been created when you purchased your subscription.
For licenses purchased after December 2023 but prior to June 2024 – Each activation key contains a single activation. If you have purchased multiple licenses, you will receive multiple activation keys. Each key is valid on one computer for 1 year from the date of purchase. The type of license and expiry date will be printed to the screen.
For licenses purchased prior to December 2023 – Each activation key may contain one or more activations. Each activation is valid on one computer for 1 year from the time of activation, and there is no time limit for initialising activations. The number of activations initially purchased, the number of activations used so far and the number of activations still available will be printed to the screen.

The following process is required for activating a licence:
- Make sure your computer is connected to the internet (required).
- Select 'License'/'Activate License on this Computer'.
- When prompted, enter your activation key code (sent via email to the purchaser at the time of the purchase) and press OK.
- Anaqsim will activate a license on your computer.
- Check that the license is functioning correctly by selecting 'License'/'License Status this Computer'. The license expiration date will be printed to the run log.
De-activate License on this Computer
An Anaqsim license can be de-activated and then re-activated for example if you upgrade computers and need to move Anaqsim to the new computer. The following process should be followed:
- Make sure your computer is connected to the internet (required).
- Select 'License'/'De-activate License on this Computer'.
- When prompted, enter your activation key code (sent via email to the purchaser at the time of the purchase) and press OK.
- Anaqsim will de-activate the license on your computer.
- Follow the Activating a License instructions on the new computer.
De-activating a license is only possible with licenses purchased after June 2024. The activation key entered must match the activation key that was used to activate a license on that computer.
