This post ist superceded by MemoQ 4 posts. Please refer to the new documentation if you work with MemoQ 4. The launch date will be announced soon!
In order to work with MemoQ, unless you have bought it, you need to take a temporary ELM licence from LEXCELERA. The first step to do so is to send to the responsible project manager a request containing details like the project number and the period of time for which you need the licence. The latter information is most important since we can only grant a limited number of licences at the same time thus we would like to know when you need it exactly. Once your licence is valid the project manager will send you a confirmation. After having received that you have to apply the following steps:
- Open MemoQ
- On the menu bar, click on “Help” -> “Activation wizard“. In the following window click on “Next” and then choose “I wish to update my ELM licenses from a MemoQ server“.
- Now, you have to choose the server from which you would like to update your licenses. By default there is no server unless you enter one or you have worked with MemoQ before and entered one at that time. In order to enter one, click on “The server is not in the list“. In the following window you have to enter the URL of the server as well as a username and a password.Our server has the following URL: 80.118.183.98 and the username is the initial of your firstname and your last name e.g. Jim Smith -> jsmith. Please contact us for the password unless you have received one before.
Now click on “Check login“. If everything has been entered correctly, you will see a little pop up window showing you that everything is correct and you can click on “Next“.
- Now, the last step begins. MemoQ establishes a connection to the server and updates your licences in order to enable you to work with your licence on your computer. When the process is finished click on “Finish“. Now you can start working. Returning your licence is done automatically since the licence is temporary and expires at a given date.
If you should have to activate your licence again afterwards, you can directly choose the server. Repeat the steps 1 & 2 and then choose “I wish to update my licences from one of the MemoQ servers listed below” and select the server and click on “Next“. Now, step 4 repeats and afterwards your licence is updated.
If you shoud have to work with MemoQ on other projects and should therefore consider to buy MemoQ you may contact us and we will put you in contact with Kilgray which allows you to benefit from a reduction on the price of 30 %!
