Overview
Roof Wizard provides Web Licensing as standard. This system gives your organisation flexible access to the software — anytime, anywhere.
With an internet connection, users can access the software from:
The office
Home
Job sites
While travelling or on leave
Licenses are shared across your organisation, and you can run as many concurrent users as your license count allows.
Key Benefits
No manual check-in/check-out needed for typical use
Access from any location with internet access
No more delays contacting AppliCad for license transfers
Software can be installed on multiple PCs — the license is only used when the software is active
Automatically frees up when a user exits the software
This ensures the right tools are available to the right people at the right time — even across multiple sites.
Using Roof Wizard Without Internet Access
We know not all users have reliable internet all the time — so Roof Wizard includes an option to check out a license and use it offline.
The License Check-Out Tool:
Locks a license to a specific PC, so it can run without an internet connection
Ideal for:
Remote or field users with unreliable connectivity
Reserving licenses for specific users
Guaranteeing availability for key team members
Remaining licenses stay online for shared use across other users
Once checked out, the license is reserved exclusively for that device.
How to Register Your License
When you first launch the software, it will check for license registration.
If not yet registered, a dialog will appear. You can:
Run in ReadOnly mode, useful for viewing or printing jobs only
Or, register the software to activate full access
To register:
Click Check IDs
Enter your Company ID and User ID (found on your My Licenses page)
If your user is missing, contact AppliCad to have them added
Once registered, you’re up and running.
ReadOnly Mode
If no license is active:
Roof Wizard enters ReadOnly mode
You can still:
Open existing jobs
Check details
Print reports
But you cannot modify or save jobs
Attempting to check out a license while in ReadOnly mode (or if no licenses are available) will result in an error message.
Tracking License Usage
You can track all your licenses in real-time via the Online License Manager.
To check license status:
Go to the AppliCad License Manager
Log in with your email and password
At the bottom of the page, view license usage:
Total licenses
Who is using them
Which are checked out
Which are still available
Example: If you have four licenses and three are checked out, the manager will show one still free to use.
