Managing Licenses

A license is always required to use the X4 BPMS. You can request a free trial license that can be used with the all-in-one installation package from the X4 BPMS > Downloads section on the SoftProject website. When purchasing an X4 BPMS package, the license is included in the respective package.

How to install a license for the first time

1. In the X4 Designer, select the  icon in the toolbar.

2. In the X4 License dialog, select Install license.

3. Navigate to the location of your X4 license, and select the file.

4. Select Open.
   Your new license is installed, and the connection with the X4 Server has been established.

Via Help > About X4 BPMS > License Info and License Features you can retrieve information about your license at any time. Here you can see how long your current license is valid and to which components of X4 BPMS it applies. If your license expires in less than 30 days, you can see how long your license is valid in the status bar at the bottom of X4 Designer.
