Complete documentation for the two utilities used in this section can be found in the section Command Line Utilities Reference.

Gathering Customer to Vendor (C2V) Detail

To gather the customer to vendor (C2V) data file, use the following command:

Command to Gather Customer to Vendor Data File

$ hasp_srm_view -c2v /path/to/keydata.c2v

The resulting file should then be sent to Stromasys Orders Administration via email, orders@stromasys.com.

Applying Vendor to Customer (V2C) License Updates

License keys received from Stromasys Orders Administration can be applied using the hasp_update command line utility.  In some cases, depending on the license type there maybe one or two files to apply.

  1. A license file to format the key (optional, for hardware licenses only).  The file name is of the format *_fmt.v2c.
  2. The license key file.  The filename is of the format *.v2c.

If there are multiple keys, it is important that they are applied in the correct order.  To apply a V2C file, use the following command:

Command to Apply Vendor to Customer (V2C) License File

$ hasp_update u /path/to/key.v2c

For multiple key files, this command should be used for both, consecutively.

All V2C (vendor to customer) files are sequentially numbered and can only be applied once and in order. After the V2C license data files has been applied it is not possible to reuse them.
