How to authorise a computer (store the Access Level Certificate)

---

This article explains the purpose of the Access Level Certificate, and how to authorise a computer.

---

To edit files offline, you need to authorise your computer by storing an Access Level Certificate, taken from a connected LiNX Access Key, to your computer. The certificate determines how you view and edit offline programs (*.lci files).

There are two supplied levels of access:

• Distributor
• Manufacturer

To edit your files with a distributor’s access level, you need to store a certificate from a distributor-level LiNX Access Key (DLX-HKEY01-A).

To edit your files with a manufacturer’s access level, you need to store a certificate from a manufacturer-level LiNX Access Key (DLX-HKEY02-A).

If you do not store your certificate from your LiNX Access Key, you will have read-only access to your stored files when offline, and will not be able to edit them.

To store the Access Level Certificate

To store the Access Level Certificate:

1. Connect to a LiNX system.
2. Click on the File menu.
3. Click Authorise Computer.
   A message displays saying how many authorisations remain and asks if you want to continue. (You can only perform this operation ten times.)
4. Click the Authorise button to continue.
   A message displays when the authorisation is complete.
5. Click OK to finish.
