Hi,

GiD version 13 should support any version of Code_Bright. However, some minor errors could rise for older versions than Code_Bright v6.

You could find the latest Code_Bright version in our website:

Best wishes,

Thank you for the information. The latest version of CODE BRIGHT that can be downloaded is V7.4. If GiD 13 supports CODE BRIGHT v6 and above very well, then I don't have to worry. I am planning to purchase the license for GiD 13 to use it with the latest version of CODE BRIGHT available, So if you can help me with some technical information regarding this, example the version combination of GiD and CODE BRIGHT, compatibility system, PC configuration requirement etc. it will be very helpful to me.

Thank you

For Code_Bright, you need Windows 64-bit Operating System.

Best wishes,

Hi, I have received the USB stick sent from the GiD team. The USB stick is showing empty. So how can I use the USB as a key because at present it is just a memory USB without any code or license in it ?

Thank you

If you have purchased a USB licence trough airmail, then you have received a number of licence (a 11 characters string)
and physically a memory stick already registered with this licence (a password stored in the file '.GiDauthority' on the root of the memory stick)

By your message seems that do you have the memory stick but the related '.GiDauthority' file is missing, it is not?
Note: Maybe the file exists but you can’t see it because has the hidden attribute.

In any case don’t worry this file could be recreated knowing your GiD USB licence
To do it:
1- Install GiD in your machine (the installer could be downloaded from our web www.gidhome.com), probably do you already have GiD installed.
2- plug the memory stick, start GiD and go to its menu Help->Register GiD…, and select in the list that appear the ‘usb one’ (not the ‘Local machine’)
3- and then its identifiers will be showed in the ‘Enter password window’ (name, sysinfo, version)
4- go to the webpage suggested: https://www.gidhome.com/purchase/passwords , select your options (GiD version, type=Usb, Permanent) and use your licence number, and the name, sysinfo (it is recommended to use copy/paste to avoid human errors), and the webpage will return the password for your memory stick.
5- Enter the password in the ‘Enter password window’ and it will be saved in the related '.GiDauthority' file (and also locally in the scripts/TemporalVariables of GiD)

Then you can use your memory stick in the machine you want.
Be careful to not delete this file of the memory stick or you must repeat this process.
Off course your USB licence must match the main version of GiD (e.g. if do you have a USB licence of GiD 13 you can use it for all GiD 13.x versions, but not for a GiD 12.x version)
