Quick Anchor v3 - Anchor Design for Concrete per ACI 318

A1. The license of Quick Anchor is administered by a USB license key. For each license purchased, one USB license key will be shipped to you. You will need to attach the license key to a USB port of your computer before running the program in order to unlock all its features. Without a license key, the program will run in Trial mode. Limitations of the Trial mode can be found here.

The use of a license key makes it very easy to use the program on multiple computers. The program does not get “locked” to a single computer, and does not need to be deactivated/activated every time you want to run the program on a different computer.

A2. Yes, Quick Anchor comes with a 2-week license that you can activate right after purchasing it. You will receive a prompt when you launch the program without a USB license key. Just type in your Order ID in the space provided to activate this license. You will need an Internet connection for activation as well as for running the program under this temporary license (Internet connection will not be required once you have received your USB license key). Your Order ID can be found in the confirmation email that you will receive when you purchase Quick Anchor, and it begins with "44000".

A3. If you already have a license key from an older version of Quick Anchor, all you need to do is to upgrade (reprogram) your existing key to work with the new version of Quick Anchor. The instructions for upgrading an older key can be found here.
