How to find your license keys

Your license(s) information can be found in the licenses delivery email, sent when you purchase a license or when you renew your maintenance. If you cannot locate the delivery email for your licenses, the way to retrieve your license key(s) depends on the product and license type you are using:

How to find the License Keys for Amira 5.5 or older, Avizo 8.0 or older; Amira 5.6 to Amira 2020.2, Avizo 8.1 to Avizo 2020.2, PerGeos 1.0 to 2020.2, node-locked certificate licenses; Amira 5.6 to Amira 2020.2, Avizo 8.1 to Avizo 2020.2, PerGeos 1.0 to 2020.2, floating certificate licenses

Finding the product licenses activated on your computer is easy. For node-locked licenses, the License Keys are simple text strings included in a file named password.dat. There is a separate key for each product extension (Amira, Amira XMesh, Amira XImagePAQ, etc.).
For example:
License Amira 5.2 1-Jan-0 0 uixhs6ypzzfg "Example License" 002323aaddee
License AmiraDicomReader 5.2 1-Jan-0 0 go3c63vyuia3 "Example License" 002323aaddee
License AmiraMesh 5.2 1-Jan-0 0 yr9v4i5x4qi9 "Example License" 002323aaddee
License AmiraMol 5.2 1-Jan-0 0 e8237chtgkw5 "Example License" 002323aaddee
License AmiraSkel 5.2 1-Jan-0 0 s83a65jfi84r "Example License" 002323aaddee

For floating licenses, the server hostname in password.dat will allow us to identify your licenses.
For example:
SERVER PANGOLIN-08 ANY
USE_SERVER

The password.dat file should be located in the share/license subdirectory of your product installation.
For example:
C:\Program Files\Amira-5.5.0\share\license
C:\Program Files\Avizo-8.0.0\share\license

In Amira or Avizo, you can access them directly from the menu Help>License Manager. The License Manager will pop up and you can access the License Keys directly in the included text window.
