CAS BACnet Explorer – Software activation
CAS BACnet Explorer is a software tool used to discover, explore, and test BACnet networks and devices. Before the software can be used beyond its initial evaluation period, it must be activated using a valid software product key. This page explains how the CAS BACnet Explorer software activation process works and outlines the steps required to request and apply a license key.
The activation process is designed to be straightforward and is handled directly within the application. These instructions apply when activating CAS BACnet Explorer using a software-based license. For information about the tool itself, see the CAS BACnet Explorer product page.
Overview of the Activation Process
CAS BACnet Explorer uses a software product key to enable full functionality. If the installed copy of the software does not have a valid license, or if an existing license has expired, the application will prompt the user to request a new product key. This request is completed by entering a valid email address and following the on-screen instructions.
The activation workflow relies on email-based license delivery. After submitting a request, an activation email is sent containing the product key. That key is then entered into the application to complete the activation process.
