As of Kodak Proofing Software 8.4, a new type of licensing technology that does not require hardware dongles for verification was introduced. Instead of validating your license against a USB dongle, your Kodak Proofing Software server will contact the KODAK Product License and Activation System (PLAS) in the background on a regular basis to keep your system licenses up to date. An internet connection is required for automatic maintenance of your licenses.

- From the Add License Key dialogue box click on the Save Request button to save the Request File.
- Copy the XML file to another workstation that can access the PLAS server on the Internet. From that workstation connect to https://ecentral.kodak.com/productregistration/FileUpload.aspx and use the tools on that page to upload the XML file.
- PLAS will generate a new XML file that you can use to license your Kodak Proofing Software server.
- Download and copy the new XML file to the Kodak Proofing Software server.
- Launch the Add license Key dialogue box, make sure the info for the License ID and Partner Place username are entered correctly, click on the Load License button to load the XML file.
Note: Note: Resale or reuse of the original hardware (dongle) license constitutes a breach of the software license agreement. Obsolete dongles are to be returned to Kodak within four weeks of upgrading to a release that uses software-based licensing from a dongle-based version. The dongle return form can be found here.
