To activate your ProtoTech plugin, follow these steps:

• An internet connection is required for activation (only once).
• The plugin connects to https://spreadsheets.google.com during the activation process.
• The plugin runs inside your host CAD application, so the CAD app must have access to the internet and permission to open that link.

Important Tips:

• Run your CAD software with Administrator rights during activation for best results.
• To check internet access, try opening this link in a browser: Link

If you can’t access the link due to no internet or firewall restrictions, you’ll need manual activation.

Note: Manual activation costs an additional $30 (i.e. Plugin Price + $30), for help, contact us at support@prototechsolutions.com
