My 30 days license has expired, can I have an extension?

Yes, its possible. Just send us a request to Renishaw FixtureBuilder Support with justifications.

I have a new PC, how can I transfer my license?

To transfer a license to a new PC (you must be online during this process): On the old PC, run the license management tool, remove Licenses, click next, answer yes to the prompts (and save the file). Then, on the new PC, you can use the license management tool and then activate a software license, to enter your serial number and codeword to activate the license.

Can I create a custom component?

You will need additional access and training. Please email us at fixturebuildersupport@renishaw.com and we will be able to help you.

If the network licence manager (FB-NLM) and FB-CU licence is purchased, I understand it could be utilised via multiple PCs, but only one at a time. Is this correct?

Yes this is correct, 1 x FB-CU = 1 x person at a time.

What is “large assembly mode”?

Large assembly mode is a view-only (no shape editing) mode, that is lighter and faster for viewing large files/assemblies. By default, it is set at 5000 parts but can be turned off or edited in the options menu.
