Licence Manager

Licence Manager window appears when there is no licence connected to the computer or the 30-day demo version is in use.

30-day Trial Version

Starting the program for the first time, you will need an internet connection. After activation, it works offline, as well.

You don't need to register or log in to use the 30-day trial version. Licence Manager window will appear at every start to show us how many days have left.

Paring a Licence

Paring a Licence, you will need an internet connection. After activation, it works offline, as well.

Having purchased a licence, you should log in using the Licence Manager window by clicking on the Log In button.

If you are not a registered user or you don't have a licence, you should click on Sign Up button.

Logging in successfully, the program will automatically find the licence connected to the user. If there are more licences connected to the user, you can choose from a list which licence should be paired to the computer you use. Having completed the activation process, you will see Licence Manager window pop up again only in that case when some problem come up with your licence.

Manual License Activation

SquareLine Studio also supports manual license activation. To use this option, click Manual License Activation in the Login window. An activation token will be generated and displayed. Copy this token and send it by email to sales@squareline.io.

After your request has been processed, you will receive a SquareLine Studio license file by email. Return to the Login window, click Import SquareLine Studio License File, and select the received file. Once the file has been successfully imported, your license will be activated.

Proxy Server Support

SquareLine Studio supports Windows system proxy settings, Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC), Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD), multiple proxy addresses, and automatic proxy failover.

Automatic Configuration

By default, no additional configuration is required. If a squareline-proxy.json file is not present, SquareLine Studio automatically uses the current Windows proxy configuration, including PAC/WPAD and multi-proxy configurations.

Manual Configuration

To configure proxy servers manually:

1. Create a file named squareline-proxy.json.
2. Place the file in the same folder as the SquareLine Studio executable.
3. Add the following configuration:

{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "mode": "manual",
  "proxies": [
    "http://x.x.x.x:1234/",
    "http://y.y.y.y:1234/"
  ],
  "bypass": [
    "localhost",
    "127.0.0.1",
    "*.company.local"
  ],
  "allowDirectFallback": false,
  "authentication": {
    "mode": "none"
  }
}

The proxy servers are tried in the order in which they are listed. If the first proxy cannot be reached, SquareLine Studio automatically attempts to connect through the next one. When allowDirectFallback is set to false, the application will not bypass the configured proxy servers and establish a direct connection.

The addresses listed under bypass are accessed without using a proxy.

After creating or modifying the configuration file, restart SquareLine Studio for the changes to take effect.

Proxy Authentication

If the proxy server requires username and password authentication, replace the authentication section with the following:

"authentication": {
  "mode": "usernamePassword",
  "username": "DOMAIN\\user",
  "password": "password"
}

The password is stored as plain text in the configuration file. Access to this file should therefore be restricted appropriately.

Troubleshooting

If you experience proxy connection problems, include the SquareLine Studio log entries beginning with Proxy: when contacting SquareLine support. Never send credentials or the configuration file if it contains a password.
