Pencil+ 4 for Maya Authorization

Preface

The authentication procedure depends on the type of the license (standalone license or network license).
There are 2 authorization methods for standalone licenses. Online authorization can be used where a direct internet connection is available. Offline authorization, where the registration information is input manually, must be used for PCs that are not connected to the internet. Please refer to the product's manual for information about authorization of network licenses.
