How to switch user in Nordined (version 10.9)?


Last modified on: 15 October 2024

Problem:

Nordined has been installed and has been used on 1 pc by user 'A'.

The pc is now being used by user 'B'.

How can user 'B' log in with his/her own credentials?


Cause:

As of Nordined version 10.9 Cadac Group uses Named-use licenses. This requires users to log in to the software using their own Cadac-account credentials.

Nordined does not yet have built-in log out functionality.


Solution:

To change user follow these steps:


Steps:

  1. Remove the Internet Cookies:
    • Press the Windows button
    • Type 'Internetoptions' and press <Enter>
      The 'Internet Properties' screen appears.
    • In the 'Browse history' section Click [ Remove ]
      The 'Remove browse History' screen appears.
    • Activate at least:
      • Temporary Internetfiles and Cache
      • Cookies and other website data
    • Click [ Remove ]
      The 'Internet properties' screen appears.
    • Click [ Apply ]
    • Click [ OK ]
  2. Remove the following registry-key an subkeys from the Windows Registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cadac Group\AEC WA Int Cld\Cadac Authorization] 
    • Press the Windows button
    • Type Regedit and press <Enter>
    • 'Browse' to the folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cadac Group\
    • Select the folder: AEC WA Int CId and give a rightmouseclick
    • Choose 'Delete'
      Message: Are you sure you want to delete this key with all subkeys?
    • Click [ Yes ]
      The Key is deleted.
    • If available also delete the key 'AEC WA Net CId' (for Techline)
    • Close the 'Registry-editor'.


Restart AutoCAD and the log in screen will be shown again.
