How to switch to and from Viewer Edition?

General Questions/Discussions
1

Hi,

we are using VP for some years now, owning one floating license. We usually used the viewer for collegues just wanting to look at diagrams, switching to the floating license only when making changes. With VP10, I find no possibility to switch to viewer edition (switching to another floating license would be possible, though).

How can I switch the installed VP from Standard to Viewer edition and vice versa?

Thanks in advance
Norbert

Hello Norbert,

In current release the Viewer is now bundled in other installation package, and you can download the viewer from the following link.

Hi Rain,

I found the download, but if installed on the same computer as standard edition, the viewer installation behaves as standard edition instead of viewer, and thus needs a license. I would like to switch between standard and viewer, as was possible using the product edition selector.

Best regards
Norbert
