Licensing patch - Proxy settings for 9.8

Use this Tech Doc and its information if you're looking to use Proxy settings to license erwin r9.8.

Please find the r9.8 Licensing Patches (32-bit and 64-bit) attached. You must install the appropriate one based on the version (32-bit or 64-bit) of erwin DM r9.8 already installed on your workstation. The .ZIP file contains three files that will replace/overwrite the existing r9.8 files on your workstations. The files being updated are:

(NOTE – The files are exactly the same ones in the 32-bit patch.)

To install this patch, simply unzip directly into the main erwin DM product folder (“C:\Program Files\erwin\Data Modeler r9” for the 64-bit version or “C:\Program Files (x86)\erwin\Data Modeler r9” for the 32-bit version). Although not required or necessary, you may want to rename the existing files before replacing them with the new files (add “.OLD” or something similar). This will provide you the option to roll back the update, if desired. Once these three files have been unzipped and saved into the product folder, you can run erwin DM (as you have in the past) and the updated licensing capabilities will be available.

 The updated licensing dialog will look like this:

In addition to permitting users to enter proxy server connection information on the PROXY tab (see below), the License Code is also masked in the dialog after being entered by the user. To use the entered proxy server information, the user must check the “Use Proxy” checkbox on the GENERAL tab.

If you launch erwin and get the following error, please contact Support. There is a field we need to change on your license key and we'll get you back up and running in a few minutes.
