The self-service licensing feature is available for GEOVIA GEMS. Self-service licensing permits you to download license from the GEOVIA support website. To use self-service licensing, you need a GEOVIA dongle and a Dassault Systèmes Passport account.

If you do not have a DS Passport account, you can create one by contacting your local GEOVIA office or by emailing GEOVIA.Support@3ds.com. Please note if you are launching GEMS for the first time, you will get a Licence Request window popup. However, if GEMS has been launched before please go to File > Switch Seat > New Licence option from within the GEMS application.
