Remote device deactivation - PIX4Dmapper

Follow

PIX4Dmapper includes a remote device deactivation feature allowing a device to be deactivated remotely. This feature can be used to deactivate inaccessible devices occupying a seat on the license. This feature will come automatically enabled with all new PIX4Dmapper licenses, older licenses will have to enable this feature manually.

Enable remote device deactivation

New PIX4Dmapper licenses will have the Remote device deactivation option enabled by default. Previously acquired PIX4Dmapper licenses will have to enable this feature manually.

 
Important: Before enabling the Remote device deactivation feature, it is necessary to log out all active devices. Active devices will prevent the feature from being enabled.

To enable the Remote device deactivation feature:

  1. Open PIX4Dmapper.
  2. Log out of PIX4Dmapper from all active devices. For more information see How to log out PIX4Dmapper.
  3. Go to the Licenses panel.
  4. In the PIX4Dmapper license, next to the Remote device deactivation, click Enable now.

    Hi there. I have deactivated the device so you should now be able to use the license. In the future please reach out directly to support via a support ticket and avoid publicly sharing your license key.
