Activating your license
Types of licenses
There are 2 types of licenses, Network licenses and Standalone licenses
1. Network licenses are used for server installations or bigger firms who have access to an application server where all the users are in the same network as the server. (The use of a VPN is allowed)
If the license you have received is in the format *E ABC898898........exclusive , then you have a network license and can continue to step Activating a Network License
2. Standalone licenses are used to activate Working Papers when there is no access to a server. This type is used the most for installations on desktops/laptops
If the license you received is similar to AA11111BB1C1234DA86A6 you have a standalone license and can follow step Activating standalone licenses
Activating a standalone license
You should have received an e-mail with the title "Caseware Working Papers 2025".
