In order to use Parametric Robot Control, you need to have a valid license. This license can be from your (or your institution's) membership or a commercial license. We also provide a free Community Version license for every user at no cost.
Note that we have not merged the membership databases from KUKA|prc yet, they are separate systems. Please get in touch with us at johannes@robotsinarchitecture.org so that your membership also applies to Parametric Robot Control.
In order to acquire the license, you need to connect to our license server and provide an email address plus name and affiliation. You are welcome to use an anonymous email and placeholder name - actual names are only needed if there are problems assigning a license file to you. Your data will never be shared or sold, you will only get very occasional internal information, such as relating to the biannual ROB|ARCH conference, or if there are safety-critical updates relating to the software.
The goal of the licensing process is to verify your email address and - if you own a membership or license - to apply it.
An early video tutorial also showing the licensing process is available on the 
Grasshopper page.
Grasshopper page.Please follow these steps to acquire your license. When you open the server user interface (by default:
https://localhost:5001) the software will complain about a missing license.

You will have to enter your email address to proceed. If this is your first time signing up, the system will ask you for your name and affiliation. You will then be sent a one-time password consisting of 6 digits. Enter it.
You will then be informed about the license that has been assigned to you. Contact johannes@robotsinarchitecture.org if there are any issues. Click the button to go back to the PRC Settings.
Click "Activate" to activate your license.
You will be notified that your license has been applied. The red error sign next to "Licensing" will disappear once you navigate through the UI.
If you have got a membership or commercial license, the license should extend itself as long as your membership/license is active.
