Licensing
GEOVIA MineSched 9.0 and later manages licensing within MineSched. You can run MineSched using a local licence, network licence, or no licence. If you run MineSched with no licence, or if you lose your licence part way through a session, you are still able to save your work and modify some scenario parameters. However, you need a licence to:
- create new scenarios
- extract data from models
- use the evaluation tools
- define material movement
- manage workbook linking
- run the schedule
- create reports
To view or change the parameters of your licence on the MineSched Licensing form, select Scenario > Licensing.
