How to Request a Visual Expert License Key

Why do I need a product key?

The Visual Expert product key is stored in the VE Repository.

If your Repository does not include a valid license key:

You can still analyze your code.
But you will only get partial results.
For instance, an impact analysis will only display a part of the references.
The volume of code that you can analyze may be limited.
Some features may be disabled (Code Comparison, Code documentation...).
Visual Expert will remind you these limitations, and suggest to get a key.

Depending on your context, Visual Expert may suggest to request a product key.
If so, click the link to request your key.
If not, go to [Help - License Key], and select "Request a product key".
Indicate whether you want to analyze PowerBuilder, Oracle, SQL Server, or multiple languages.
Fill the form below and click [Finish].
Your request is automatically sent via the Internet to the VE team that will generate your key.
You will be notified by email when your product key is available.
Open Visual Expert again: your key should automatically be downloaded.
A Windows notification should inform you that the key has been downloaded.
If not, go to Help > License key
Select [Download the requested product key]

If your computer is not connected to the Internet, you must request your key by email:

Select [Request and enter a key manually].
Clicking Next, a second window will indicate you "Computer Id" and "Repository Id".
Copy and send this information by email to the Visual Expert team.
In return, you will get a "Request Identifier" and a "Key".
Open Visual Expert, and go to [Help - License key]
Select "Request and enter a key manually".
Copy the "Request Identifier" and "Key" and click "Finish" (see above).
