OPTINEDKey is our new user- and cloud-based licensing system. It frees your team from dongles and fixed workstations, opens the door to our new Cloud & AI features, and we’ll guide you through every step of the switch.
The way you access Optitex software is changing, and the change is designed to make your team’s day easier. OPTINEDKey, our new user- and cloud-based licensing system, replaces workstation-based licenses and physical dongles. Your licenses can move with your people, not with a piece of hardware.
We built OPTINEDKey around what customers have asked us for: more flexibility, less admin and quicker access to new capabilities. Here is what it means for you.
What OPTINEDKey brings to your team
Work from wherever your team works. Product designers and production teams sign in with their own account on any approved device. Whether they are in the studio, at a supplier or working from home, their software comes with them.
No more dongles. There is nothing to ship, misplace or replace. A lost or damaged dongle no longer means a stalled project.
One sign-in for everything. A single account gives each person access to all the Optitex software they are licensed for. There are no separate keys or activation codes to keep track of.
All your licenses in one place. See who uses which license, move licenses between team members in a few clicks, and plan how many licenses your team really needs. New team members can start on day one, and when someone leaves, their access can be removed instantly, so your licenses and data stay under your control.
Faster start, less downtime. New users are up and running in minutes, and activation happens instantly.
Less for IT to look after. If your team uses network licenses today, there is no local license server to install, maintain or keep running anymore. And if one machine goes down, the rest of your team keeps working.
Built-in security. Each user signs in with their own secure account.
Access to our new OPTINEDCloud & AI features. Our newest cloud and AI-powered capabilities are available only through OPTINEDKey. Moving now means your team is ready for them from day one.
Better for the planet, too. No dongles to manufacture, ship or throw away, and no local servers running around the clock. It’s a small step that supports your own sustainability goals.
What this means for your license
OPTINEDKey works with time-based licenses. If you currently use a perpetual license, moving to OPTINEDKey also means moving to a time-based license.
There is no need to rush. 2027 is the last year we offer AMC on perpetual licenses, so we recommend making the move at your next AMC renewal. Your account manager will help you choose the right license for your team and the best moment to switch.
If you would like to start earlier, you are welcome to. Just get in touch with your account manager or with our customer support team.
