So, you're looking to log into Autoproctor, huh? It's a common question, and honestly, getting started can sometimes feel like navigating a maze. But don't worry, it's usually more straightforward than it seems. Think of this as a chat with a friend who's already been through it.
First off, if you're an enterprise user, you'll need that all-important commercial authorization. This isn't just a formality; it's what unlocks the full potential of the application. You'll typically encounter two main ways this authorization works: "Node-locked License" and "Floating License." Each has its own little dance to get through.
Let's break down the "Node-locked License" first. After you've installed the "Automation Creator Enterprise Edition" client – usually by double-clicking that shortcut icon on your desktop after selecting the "Simplified English" version – you'll see an authorization login window. Here, you'll choose "Node-locked License." The key here is your activation code. You'll need to get this through an official CDKEY you've purchased. Once you have it, just pop it into the designated spot, and you're in! This method is great because the program runs offline, giving you a bit more freedom.
Now, about getting that activation code. You'll typically purchase your "Automation Creator" CDKEY through business channels. Then, you head over to a redemption page. If you're in an intranet environment, there's often a handy QR code you can scan with your phone to get the process going. If you're directly connected to the internet, you'll just click a link to jump to the redemption page, enter your CDKEY, and voilà – your authorized enterprise name and activation code appear.
There's a little extra step sometimes, especially if it's been a while since your last login. If your last authorization login was over three months ago and your authorization expires in more than a year, you might need to do a secondary validation. After entering your enterprise name and activation code, you'll click "Activate Now," and then you'll be prompted for a verification code. Again, this is usually handled via a QR code scan on your mobile or a direct link, and these codes are only good for the day, so act promptly!
What about exiting or logging out? It's pretty simple. You can click the "Not Logged In" label in the top right corner of the homepage. In the panel that pops up, you'll find an "Exit Authorization" button. Alternatively, you can go to "Settings - Authorization Information" and find the same "Exit Authorization" button there.
Now, let's switch gears to the "Floating License." This method is a bit different. It's tightly linked with "Automation Commander," making it ideal for developers who might be working across multiple machines and want to use the same login details. To make this work, you'll need a few things: the "User Center address" (which you get during "Automation Commander" setup), your authorized "username" and "password" (or the super administrator credentials), and crucially, your tenant needs to have a "Floating License" capacity allocated – at least one is needed.
An important note for "Floating License" users: make sure your user role has the "Login to Automation Creator" permission granted through the "Unified Management Console." Without it, this login method won't work. Once you're authenticated, "Automation Creator" will share details like the version number, machine code, and connection time back to "Automation Commander." Just a heads-up, if you change your password, role, or department in "Automation Commander," you might be kicked back to the "Authorization Login" page in "Automation Creator," requiring you to log in again.
When you're entering the "User Center address," remember to include the "http://" or "https://" prefix if it's there, and only input the part before the first "/". Then, just click "Connect Now." If the address is no good, you won't be able to proceed.
Ultimately, whether you're using a "Node-locked" or "Floating" license, the goal is to get you into the system smoothly so you can get your work done. It's all about finding the right key for the right lock.
