Generate Licenses

To use CA ERwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition, the Mart Administrator workstation must have the Workgroup Edition license and the Initializer license installed. The Initializer license allows the Mart Administrator to initialize the mart. Additionally, CA ERwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition users can only connect to a mart initialized with the same serial number identifier that the user has licensed on their local PC.

To generate your permanent license, you must supply a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the machine on which you have installed CA ERwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition. To obtain your MAC address and permanent license do the following:

• Click Licensing on the Help menu.

  The Licensing dialog opens displaying the MAC addresses discovered on your machine.

• Select the appropriate MAC address, ensuring you do not use the MAC address of an adapter located in a docking station or an external hard drive, and click Close.
• Contact CA Customer Care with your MAC address to receive your permanent license files.
• Copy your license files locally on your machine as follows:

  For Windows XP

  C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\CA\ERwin Data Modeler\8.0

  For Windows 7

  C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\CA\ERwin Data Modeler\8.0

Note: If you need assistance with licensing, you can open an issue online at CA ERwin Data Modeler support or call CA Customer Care.
