From version 2017.1 Alibre Design includes an option to specify details of a Proxy Server used for internet access - previously our licence activation has not worked for some customers where a Proxy Server is used.
To configure the system it is necessary to add a configuration file to the following (hidden) directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Alibre Design - where <username> represents your Windows Login name.
A skeleton configuration file is attached below - you will have to edit this file to add the details of the proxy server on your network (your IT team should be able to provide the required information). A text editing program (e.g. Notepad) can be used to edit the file.
The skeleton file contents is shown here
<ProxyIP></ProxyIP>
<ProxyPort></ProxyPort>
<ProxyUsername></ProxyUsername>
<ProxyPassword></ProxyPassword>
Between the XML start and end tags on each line, you should place the information matching the tag name.
So your first line could look something like <ProxyIP>192.168.0.199</ProxyIP> the IP address for your proxy will differ from the example here
Depending upon the specific arrangements of the Proxy Server, some lines of the file may remain unchanged.
