Known Issues

If a DataSight license (either standard or concurrent) has been previously installed on a computer, you are unable to change the license type. This is an issue even if the license is uninstalled, prior to attempting to install the new type of license.

We recommend you change the license user type from within the DataSight application, prior to uninstalling DataSight, as follows.

  1. Click on the DataSight Application Tab.
  2. Select License, then Select License.
  3. Choose the license type (Standard User or Concurrent User) that you wish to re-install for DataSight next time.
  4. Then click OK.
  5. Uninstall DataSight from your computer, then re-install DataSight.
  6. DataSight should now prompt you to select a user type for your license at launch.

 

Overtyping a license key, or trying to re-authenticate without Administrator rights to the system or computer, may cause an installation error. If you are required to re-authenticate your license please ensure you do have Administrator Rights.
