| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | Danfoss MCT (Modular Control & Test) is a family of digital controllers used in heating, ventilation, air‑conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC‑R) systems. | | MCT‑10 model | A compact, 10‑channel controller that can host a variety of I/O modules (temperature, pressure, flow, etc.). It runs the MCT‑Software (configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics). | | Typical applications | Chiller plant control, heat‑pump monitoring, building‑automation zones, and test‑equipment rigs. | | Why a license key? | The software that programs the controller contains proprietary algorithms, advanced diagnostics, and cloud‑connectivity features. Danfoss protects this intellectual property with a license‑key system that activates the full feature set for a specific hardware unit. |
Because the license is tied to a physical USB stick, treat it like cash. | Step | Action | Details | |------|--------|---------|
If you are finding the USB dongle process cumbersome, check if your specific drive supports (or the MyDrive® Connect app).
Both versions utilize a standard USB-A to Type-B (printer) cable to connect your laptop to the drive's control card.
Common order codes include 136S0001 for a standard license or 130B1001 for multi-user (e.g., 5-license) bundles.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | | • Typo when entering the key. • Key meant for a different model (e.g., MCT‑5). | Re‑type carefully; verify the key matches the MCT‑10 model. | | “License already in use” | The key is bound to another controller’s serial number. | Check that you are using the correct serial number; contact Danfoss support with proof of purchase for re‑issuance. | | “Cannot contact licensing server” (offline) | No internet, firewall blocks the Danfoss validation URL. | Use the offline activation file provided with the purchase (usually a .lic file you import). | | License disappears after firmware update | Firmware reset cleared the stored flag. | Re‑apply the key after the update; the software will re‑validate against the same hardware ID. | | Expired trial key | Time‑based trial reached its limit. | Purchase a full‑version key or request an extension (some trial extensions are possible for evaluation partners). |
