Make sure your MapInfo License Server is running. Check to see that the server is set up properly and contains the appropriate activated licenses.

To activate a distributed license:

  1. Begin the MapInfo Pro installation process as you would with any other license model.
  2. When you are prompted for your serial number and access code, enter the distributed license serial number and activation code.
    Distributed license serial numbers begin with "MID" or "MAD".
  3. Click Next.
    The License Server Name and Port dialog box opens.


    Note: The server name is in the format \\yourlicenseserver, and is the name or IP address for the machine that the license server is installed to. The port number defaults to 27000 but it can be set by your License Server system administrator. Check with your administrator if the port number is not working.
  4. Type in your License Server's (machine) name in the License Server Name field and the port number in the License Server Port Number field or leave the default entry in place.
  5. Click Next to continue.
    Follow the prompts in the dialog boxes until you finish the installation.
When you open MapInfo Pro for the first time, one of the following occurs:
  • If the application finds the license server, and the serial number, activation code, and port numbers are correct, the application opens and the product is activated.
  • If the application did not access the license server, did not recognize the serial number or activation code, or did not recognize the port number, an error message opens. We recommend that you review these components to ensure that they are correct and/or work with your system administrator to review these four pieces of information. Correct the erroneous information and begin the activation process again.

After you activate your license, you can review the licensing details in MapInfo Pro on the PRO tab by pointing to Licensing.

The serial number, access code, and licensing details are displayed in this panel for future reference.
