3. License
Workshare no longer uses authentication codes or .LIC files for licensing. Now licensing is as simple as signing in.
After installing your product, you’ll be prompted to sign in to Workshare. Use the email and password for your Workshare Connect account. This will license your product on your computer. If you don't have a Workshare Connect account, enter your email address into the sign in page and you'll be asked to choose a password.
If you haven't been prompted to sign in, manually trigger the prompt by double-clicking the comparison application icon on your desktop. If you don't have a Workshare Connect account, click Create account in the dialog and follow the steps.
If you're licensing Professional 8 or an earlier version, you can find the instructions here.
If you're deploying Workshare, you can choose between using the sign in method for licensing that's described above or our Enterprise licensing method. To find out more, see the help article called Licensing Workshare 9 and above for deployment. Full instructions on downloading, licensing and deploying can be found in the Workshare Professional 10 Installation Guide
