About > License and Edition > License File Management

After the activation of PackBench, an encrypted license file (.rsl) is generated and saved in the root folder where the program has been installed.

Subsequent runs of the application will require no internet connection / activation as long as a valid license file is present in any of the following folders:

1.The main installation folder (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\RayPack\PackBench).

oWhen running a portable copy, the path from where the main executable has been started applies.

2.\Raynet\Licenses folder in Common 32-bit Program Files directory (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Raynet\Licenses).

3.\Raynet\Licenses folder in Application Data directory (for example C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Raynet\Licenses).

4.\Raynet\Licenses folder in Program Data directory (for example C:\ProgramData\Raynet\Licenses).

The required extension of a license file name is .rsl.

The license file is portable and will not be removed when PackBench is uninstalled. A back-up of the license or a copy on the stick in the portable installation location allows to start PackBench, given that the machine is the same as used to activate the product.

Resolving Multiple License Files

In case more than one license is found, the following logic is applied

1.The order in which folders are probed is equal to the standard probing described in the above section.

2.Should two or more license files be found in the same level, the one that is active and valid for the current machine wins. If more than one license is active and valid, the first one wins (note: the order in which license files from a folder are probed may be not deterministic)

3.Should no license in the same level be valid and active, the next folder is processed

4.If no valid and active license has been found in any of the probed folders, the program will not start and the activation wizard will show up.

Logging and Troubleshooting

Detailed information about the order and which licenses are applied on start-up can be found in the PackBench logs. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for more information.
