Network License

Network Licenses can only be available for companies like studios and schools. Before proceeding with an installation, make sure that:

  • You created a User Account as a Legal Entity Representative

  • Make sure with your administration that you are authorized to get License information

If you have any questions or trouble on these two points, contact your Praxinos agent or use this form.

A. Installation process on the server

The server will manage the license for the whole network. Obviously, it must be opened all the time, or client machines won’t be allowed to run Odyssey.

Step A1: Download the Praxinos Launcher

Connect to your User Account and go to “Your Downloads”, in the tab “Software”. Click on the link to install the Praxinos Launcher.

Step A2: Install the Praxinos Launcher

Install the Praxinos Launcher. Do not forget to activate the third-party software “Codemeter”, or the Launcher won’t install.

Step A3: Enable Network Server

During the installation of Codemeter, you will have to enable the Network Server kit.

This absolutely madatory if you want client machines to be allowed to run Odyssey.

Step A4: Activate the License

Once the Launcher and Codemeter are both installed, go back to the User Account and copy the license key in the category “Your company”, tab “Licenses”.

Then, go to the Praxinos Launcher, into the tab “Licenses” and paste the ticket number here:

Click on “Check”, then on “Activate”.

If you do not activate the network license, Odyssey will run as a demo for 30 days on client machines.

Network licenses are not rehostable. If you need to change your server, please contact us.

B. Installation process on client computers

Step B1: Install Praxinos Launcher

Repeat exactly the same steps as in Step A2, but for the Client machines. Step A3 must be ignored for Client machines.

Step B2: Download Odyssey

Click on the tab “Downloads” and click on Odyssey to download it.

Step B3: Run Odyssey

Once the activation is complete, you can launch Odyssey, either from the Launcher or from the Desktop.

If a user from a client computer get a message telling him/her the license has almost expired, it means the Launcher must be started (one client using the Launcher is enough for the whole network). It may also mean that the subscription must be extended. In that situation, please contact us.
