24.1 Release Notes

January 11th, 2024

 

1 Tools, Features, and Capabilities

1.1 Offline legacy license activation

Activate, update, and transfer all your licenses offline.

A new Zemax License Manager release is included with OpticsViewer or available as a separate download. This release adds an offline section with a built-in offline softkey license activation and license transfer process.

 

 

This means these operations no longer need to be done via a separate application. Since we are now issuing Ansys licenses, this also prepares Zemax legacy applications for the future discontinuation of the legacy online license servers.
