# Login Named User Dialog

FluidFlow 3.54 introduces a new licensing option - "Named User License" - that allows use of a license stored online, rather than hard-coded to a PC. You will need to have signed up for a "Named User" license and been provided with account details from our sales team before you can start. A "Named User" license is one not stored on your machine, but is accessible online. You can have both a standard (standalone/network) license and a "Named User" license on the same installation. How it Works If you have selected 'Named User (Online)' as your installation kind when installing FluidFlow then the "Login Named User" dialog will be displayed for you on startup. If you 'Cancel' the "Login Named User" dialog on startup, FluidFlow will start with any other (standalone/trial/non-calc/network) license on your machine. At any time (and for any installation type) you can also use the 'Help | Login Named User...' menu item to display this dialog to access an online/Named User license. Once logged in, you can use FluidFlow as normal. To logout and return FluidFlow to running in non-calc mode, select the 'Help | Logout Named User' menu item. Credentials To access your Named User license, you need to login with the Email and Password credentials used to register your account. 'Auto-Login on Startup' - when checked this will bypass the dialog and login you in automatically with the saved credentials. Use the 'Save' button to store the email and password (and Proxy Settings) without logging in. Note, when you login, these credentials and settings will be automatically stored for you without needing to click 'Save'. (Note: The same credentials - email and password - can be used to access your account on our portal site.) Settings The Settings Page is used to enter any proxy information you might need to access the internet. Please contact your IT admin to get your proxy details - server, port, username, and password - if they are needed. You can use the 'Save' button to store the Proxy Settings (without logging in). Additionally, when you do login, the settings will be automatically stored for you.
