QUINDOS checks your SMA contract before installation. If you want to check whether you can install a newer version of QUINDOS before you download the version, you can find the required SMA date for a main release version in the release notes in the chapter 'Prerequisites - before installing QUINDOS'.

Furthermore, the SMA date is displayed on our download server for the respective version. This date should cover your current QUINDOS SMA contract. To check your SMA contract period, open the current QUINDOS license file. Open the folder C:\ProgramData\Hexagon\Quindos7\Licenses(for versions < QUINDOS 2021.2 C:\Program Files (x86)\Quindos7\Licenses) in your QUINDOS installation and open the license with an editor. In the header, you will find your contract number as well as the start and end date.

QUINDOS Basis supports the import of the standardized formats IGES and STEP (STEP AP 203, AP 214). For the use of native 3D CAD formats, you need an additional converter license. The native formats supported by the respective main release version are listed in the release notes.

Please select the chapter 'DATAKIT converter licenses'. QUINDOS converters are available for the formats CATIA, Pro Engineer/Creo, Siemens NX/UG, STEP 242, Parasolid, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, JT B-Rep.

Due to a computer change the hardware ID of the computer has changed. The license must be renewed for this computer. With a valid SMA contract, the license transfer is free of charge. Hints for backup and transfer of the existing working environment are given in the QUINDOS Quick Tips 'QT_Win7_To_Win10_Same_QUINDOS'() and 'QT_Win7_To_Win10_Upgrade_QUINDOS'.
