Before installing 12d Model, it’s helpful to understand how its licensing system works. This video gives you a clear and simple explanation of the different dongle types you may receive after purchasing your license.

Upon purchasing a 12d Model licence or licences, you’ll usually receive: a standalone Codemeter or a network Codemeter dongle (or both).

Standalone dongles come in several forms such as an SSD card, a stubby USB, or a long USB drive. While they may look different, they all serve the same purpose. These are designed for individual users and allow access to multiple projects, with the option to be shared when needed.

For team environments, a network dongle is used instead. This is typically a heavier metallic USB device, where each license allows one user to access a project at a time, making it suitable for shared organizational use.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear understanding of how each dongle type works and which one applies to your setup.
