I recently bought my Axiom software. Why am I getting an Information box that says my temporary license has expired?

When you purchase a single-computer license, you will be delivered a 60-day temporary license that will work on any machine at first — so that you can be running as soon as you purchase the software. You get a permanent license as soon as you register your software. Here are the instructions for registration: To receive your permanent license, you need only provide Axiom with the CPU-ID (CPU Identifier) for your computer. Axiom will then send you your permanent license.

In MicroStation V8i, from the Axiom pull-down menu choose "Get my computer's CPU-ID"

In MicroStation CONNECT or later, from the Axiom ribbon choose "Get My Computer's CPU-ID"
