You can save configuration files in the modeling tool installation directory or on your chosen directory. To store configuration files in the modeling tool installation directory add argument into JAVA_ARGS line in file *.properties* (this file is in \bin): NOTE: For Windows users. If you are using modeling tool of version 17.0.4 or later, you must also add argument To store configuration files to your chosen location
Or:
For example, -Dlocalconfig.location\=C\:\\MagicDraw\\configurationData NOTE: If there is defined to store files in installation directory (see the section "To store MagicDraw configuration files in MagicDraw installation directory" above), files will not be stored to your chosen location. The proper way to activate the license is to install the application as the administrator, then to login as a regular user, which will use the tool, and proceed with the license activation process. The particular user licensing information is stored in the user home directory. So if you want that the application which has already been activated from the administrator account would not require the license activation from the user account on the same machine, you should change the licensing information storage place. You can store the licensing information in the MagicDraw installation directory (the read-write rights are required). For the instructions on how to change the configuration files directory, please find the issue "In our company the storage of user home directory is limited. How to force to keep configuration files in other directory?" Note: It is important to know that the MagicDraw seat license can be used by a single user only. |

Please note that downloaded installs are not corrupted or damaged and this problem is not related to the modeling tool application. This issue is related to the new OS X Mountain Lion functionality, "Gatekeeper." The Gatekeeper functionality, by default, does not allow executing applications that are not from the Apple Store or from Identified Developers. In order to launch their modelling tools, users can modify the option, which allows executing all the applications from all the providers. For more information on how to do this, go to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290 Note: We are communicating with Apple to solve this issue so that our customers may execute their modelling tools without any problems. |
