By the end of this article, you will have a clear understanding of how to get and use a Mapinfo 85 licence key for your MapInfo Pro software. Let's get started!

What are the different types of Mapinfo 85 licence keys and how do they work?

MapInfo Pro licences can be categorized as feature-based licences or subscription-based licences. Feature-based licences are perpetual licences that allow you to use a specific version of MapInfo Pro indefinitely. Subscription-based licences are annual licences that allow you to use the latest version of MapInfo Pro for a fixed period of time.

Within each category, there are three types of licence keys: node-locked, concurrent, and distributable. Node-locked licence keys are assigned to a specific computer and can only be used on that computer. Concurrent licence keys are shared among multiple computers and can be used by one user at a time. Distributable licence keys are also shared among multiple computers and can be used by multiple users at a time, but with some limitations.

The type of licence key you have depends on how your organization purchased MapInfo Pro. Depending on the licence type, MapInfo Pro will guide you through activating the product (if your organization purchased node-locked licences) or connecting to a licence server (if your organization purchased concurrent or distributable licences).

How to find your serial number and access code for MapInfo Pro installation?

To activate or connect your MapInfo Pro licence key, you will need your serial number and access code. These are two alphanumeric codes that are provided to you when you purchase MapInfo Pro. You can find them on the Product Activation Information Card or in an email from Precisely, the company that develops MapInfo Pro.

If you have already installed MapInfo Pro on your computer, you can also find your serial number and access code in the following ways:

In MapInfo Pro 32-bit version, go to Help > click on About this MapInfo Product. The serial number and access code are displayed in the About this MapInfo Product dialog box.

In MapInfo Pro 64-bit version, go to the backstage (PRO tab) > click on About. The serial number and access code are displayed in the About dialog box.

Go to the MapInfo installation directory and open UserInfo.log to get the serial number and access code details.

Through the Registry Editor. For MapInfo Pro 32-bit on a 64-bit Windows operating system, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\. For MapInfo Pro 64-bit, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\. Here you can find the serial number and access code values.

Make sure you keep your serial number and access code safe and secure, as you will need them to activate or connect your licence key.

How to activate your node-locked licence key using the automatic or email method?

If you have a node-locked licence key, you will need to activate it before you can use MapInfo Pro. Activation is a one-time process that associates your licence key with your computer. You can activate your node-locked licence key using either the automatic or email method.

The automatic method is the easiest and fastest way to activate your licence key. It requires an Internet connection on your computer. The email method is an alternative way to activate your licence key when an Internet connection is not available. It requires you to create an activation request file and email it to Precisely.

To activate your node-locked licence key using the automatic method:

Install MapInfo Pro, if not already installed, and start the product. When MapInfo Pro is started for the first time after installation, the Activation Wizard launches. The MapInfo Pro Activation dialog box opens.

Select Activate Now and click Next.

In the Select Transfer Method dialog box, select Automatic Activation and click Next.

In the Verify Activation Credentials dialog box, double-check that the serial number and access code are correct and click Next.

The Activation Wizard will make a one-time connection with the Licensing Server and retrieve one of the licences purchased for your serial number. A confirmation message will appear when the activation is successful.

Click Finish to close the Activation Wizard and start using MapInfo Pro.

To activate your node-locked licence key using the email method:

Select Activate Now and click Next.

In the Select Transfer Method dialog box, select Email Activation and click Next.

In the Verify Activation Credentials dialog box, double-check that the serial number and access code are correct and click Next.

In the Specify location to save Activation Request file dialog box, click Browse to select a folder in which to save the Activation Request file and then click Next.

The Activation Wizard will create an Activation Request file with a .req extension and save it in the selected folder. A confirmation message will appear when the file is created.

Click Finish to close the Activation Wizard.

Email the Activation Request file as an attachment to activ...@mapinfo.com. You will receive a reply email with an Activation Response file as an attachment within 24 hours.

Save the Activation Response file in a folder on your computer.

Start MapInfo Pro again. The Activation Wizard launches. The MapInfo Pro Activation dialog box opens.

Select Activate Now and click Next.

In the Select Transfer Method dialog box, select Email Activation and click Next.

In the Specify location of Activation Response file dialog box, click Browse to select the folder where you saved the Activation Response file and then click Next.

The Activation Wizard will read the Activation Response file and activate your licence key. A confirmation message will appear when the activation is successful.

Click Finish to close the Activation Wizard and start using MapInfo Pro.

How to connect to a licence server if you have a concurrent or distributable licence key?

If you have a concurrent or distributable licence key, you will need to connect to a licence server before you can use MapInfo Pro. A licence server is a computer that hosts and manages the licences for your organization. You can connect to a licence server using either the automatic or manual method.

The automatic method is the easiest and fastest way to connect to a licence server. It requires an Internet connection on your computer and on the licence server. The manual method is an alternative way to connect to a licence server when an Internet connection is not available or when the automatic method fails. It requires you to enter the server name and port number of the licence server.

To connect to a licence server using the automatic method:

Install MapInfo Pro, if not already installed, and start the product. When MapInfo Pro is started for the first time after installation, the Activation Wizard launches. The MapInfo Pro Activation dialog box opens.

Select Connect Now and click Next.

In the Select Transfer Method dialog box, select Automatic Connection and click Next.

In the Verify Connection Credentials dialog box, double-check that the serial number and access code are correct and click Next.

The Activation Wizard will make a connection with the Licensing Server and retrieve the server name and port number of the licence server for your serial number. A confirmation message will appear when the connection is successful.

Click Finish to close the Activation Wizard and start using MapInfo Pro.

To connect to a licence server using the manual method:

Install MapInfo Pro, if not already installed, and start the product. When MapInfo Pro is started for the first time after installation, the Activation Wizard launches. The MapInfo Pro Activation dialog box opens.

Select Connect Now and click Next.

In the Select Transfer Method dialog box, select Manual Connection and click Next.

In the Verify Connection Credentials dialog box, double-check that the serial number and access code are correct and click Next.

In the Enter Server Name and Port Number dialog box, enter the server name and port number of the licence server that you obtained from your system administrator or Precisely and click Next.

The Activation Wizard will make a connection with the licence server and check for available licences. A confirmation message will appear when the connection is successful.

Click Finish to close the Activation Wizard and start using MapInfo Pro.

How to renew or update your licence key if it expires or changes?

If you have a subscription-based licence key or a feature-based licence key with maintenance, you will need to renew or update your licence key periodically to continue using MapInfo Pro. Renewing or updating your licence key will extend its validity period or enable new features or versions of MapInfo Pro.

You can renew or update your licence key using either the automatic or email method. The automatic method is the easiest and fastest way to renew or update your licence key. It requires an Internet connection on your computer. The email method is an alternative way to renew or update your licence key when an Internet connection is not available. It requires you to create an update request file and email it to Precisely.

To renew or update your node-locked licence key using the automatic method:

Start MapInfo Pro on your computer. If your licence key has expired or changed, a message will appear informing you of this and giving you the opportunity to renew or update your licence key.

Select Update Now and click Next.

In the Select Transfer Method dialog box, select Automatic Update and click Next.

The Update Wizard will make a connection with the Licensing Server and retrieve the updated licence key for your serial number. A confirmation message will appear when the update is successful.

Click Finish to close the Update Wizard and start using MapInfo Pro with your renewed or updated licence key.
