Register NXPowerLite
After you sign up for a trial of NXPowerLite or if you purchase a license, you will receive an email containing your registration details. This consists of a Registered Name and a 16-digit Registration Key. To unlock NXPowerLite so that it can replace files:
- Open the NXPowerLite Server Dashboard
- Under the Help menu item select Register...
- Enter your registration details exactly as they were supplied to you
What changes when I register?
Evaluation Mode
Before registration, NXPowerLite will be locked in 'Evaluation mode'. In this mode, you can point NXPowerLite at your server folders and get a report of the estimated space savings. In this mode, NXPowerLite copies each file in turn to create a temporary file and then optimizes it. It then deletes the temporary file, taking note of the difference between the size of the original and optimized versions of the file. When processing all the candidate files is completed, NXPowerLite generates a report detailing the total expected space savings.
Optimize Mode
Once registered NXPowerLite Server will be in Optimize Mode. This means that the software will now replace files with smaller versions, reclaiming valuable disk space. A live report can be generated at any time showing the amount of disk space reclaimed over time.
Note: It is not possible to 'unregister' NXPowerLite to go back to Evaluation Mode.
Enter New Subscription Key
Subscription registration keys have an end date encoded into them. They will expire 12 hours after midnight UTC on the date indicated in the About dialog. When expired, NXPowerLite will pause any active jobs and only allow access to the Reports menu and About dialog to re-register the software.
Current Subscription Valid
It is possible to insert a new subscription key even when the subscription is still valid. NXPowerLite will only accept registration keys that have a subscription date after the one currently being used. It will then effectively extend the valid period to the new expiry date.
To Enter a new key:
- Open NXPowerLite Dashboard
- Go to Help > About
- Click on the Enter new key... button
Your current details will be pre-filled. Change the registration key and name if necessary.
Current Subscription Expired
If the registration key has expired you need to enter a key before you can start to Optimize files again. To insert a new key click the 'Enter new key...' button and enter the details of your new subscription as explained in the Register NXPowerLite section above.
Registration Key Errors
NXPowerLite Server will detect if you are entering either an invalid key, a key for an older version or a key for a different NXPowerLite product. The error message that appears underneath the Registration Key box after you click register will explain the specific error.
To register the software with a valid key, please ensure you have not missed an email from Neuxpower with your details by checking your SPAM folder. Alternatively, you can request an email with your current NXPowerLite details from our automated reminder service.
If you only have access to an older version of the software, you can either purchase an upgrade by contacting us or download and use the version of NXPowerLite Server that matches your license.
