First Steps with dSPACE Software - Purchase, Installation, and Licensing

Introduction

This website gives you a brief overview of the steps you have to perform to start working with dSPACE software.

Step 1: Purchase

Please contact your local sales representatives. They will assist you in selecting the appropriate software components. You will then receive a quotation with the selected software. You can use the quotation to place the order.

Step 2: Delivery

You will receive USB dongles by mail. The dongles are used for license protection.

We will also send you an e-mail that contains License Overview files. These Microsoft® Excel® files provide the required license information, e.g., ticket IDs for the licenses. There is one ticket ID for each software product. You will need the IDs for license activation in Step 6. 

Step 3: mydSPACE Login

If you do not have a mydSPACE account yet, create one.

Log on with your business e-mail address. If your account is registered for accessing support information, the download will be available. In some cases, registration for support information is granted automatically. If you cannot access this service, request the access to support information by providing the relevant license ID. The license ID is printed on the dongle tag as a serial number of the 3-xxxx format.
