The CEIPortal
Summary:
This article will familiarize you with CEI's software update portal. The portal provides
notifications of upcoming expirations and makes downloading updates quick and easy.
Detailed Information:
The software portal is installed with your CEI software. It runs minimized in the taskbar and
regularly checks for updates. When an update for your installed software is available, the portal
provides notification. Downloading the update is as simple as clicking the link in the portal
interface. Release notes that detail the content of each update are also available.
The Software Update view displays the status of your installed CEI products. You will be able to
see which products need updating: the Portal displays which version you have installed and the
most recent version available. Updates and release notes can be accessed by clicking the links
in the Portal.
If you have purchased a new license or have updated your subscription, you can check for your
new license by clicking the Check for License Updates button. This will look for any new
licenses on CEIs license server and automatically apply them to your key.
Details about your CEIsoftware licenses can also be accessed through the portal. On the
Software License view, you can see which licenses are expired and how much time you have
left on the others. The portal will notify you of upcoming expirations. You can choose to not be
reminded until after a certain date by selecting the checkbox on the bar near the bottom that
says "Don't remind me..." and entering a date. The software portal will not send any reminders
until after the date entered even if licenses expire during this period. To ensure uninterrupted
productivity, we recommend that you do not turn off the portal reminders.

The software portal makes updating and licensing your software simple and straightforward. If
you do have difficulty, you can use the portal to contact CEI through our online chat.
Occasionally we may ask that you send us a specific license file - the portal also makes this
easy. Click the "Email C2V License Files to CEI" button or the Upload C2V License Files to CEI
button and you're done.
Troubleshooting:Licensing
Summary:
Our flexible licensing model increases the benefits of our software. Because the license can be
placed anywhere on a network, the software can be used by those who need it on any computer
in the network. Occasional issues do appear, however, so this article aims to walk you through
those issues and their solutions.
Software is running in Demo mode
Check to be sure that your subscription has not expired. Access the CEIPortal (show me) and
click on My Software Licenses. Green flags indicate current licenses, yellow flags indicate
licenses that will expire soon, and red flags indicate licenses that have expired. If your license
has expired, you may click the link at the bottom of the Portal and visit the CEI online store, or
you may email our sales department to purchase a new license.

Knowledge Base
Only part of the software is available/working
If your company has an unequal number of licenses to certain modules, some users may find
themselves operating in a partial demo mode. For example, if you have two licenses for
DesignCalcs Basic but only one license for the Skirt Module, the first user to launch the program
will use a license for DesignCalcs Basic and the license for the Skirt Module. The second user
will only have access to the DesignCalcs Basic license, so the Skirt Module will operate in
Demo mode.
To remedy this situation, both users should exit the program and the user that needs the Skirt
Module license should then launch the software first.
Software was working when launched but is now in Demo mode/not working
Check the CEIPortal to make sure your subscription has not expired (show me). If your license is
still valid, it may have timed out. If the software is launched but not used for an extended
period of time, the license will be released back to the key so others may access it. Close and
reopen the software to obtain another license from the key.
License key is plugged in locally but no licenses are visible
If your license key is plugged into your physical machine and no licenses are visible in the
CEIPortal, you may need to install the HASP drivers. Click the link below and save the file.
ftp://ftp.aladdin.com/pub/hasp/Sentinel_HASP/Runtime_%28Drivers%29/Sentinel_HASP_
Run-time_setup.zip
Locate and open the downloaded file on your computer. Double-click "HaspUserSetup.exe" and
select Run to install the drivers.
License key is plugged in locally but a "404" error appears when accessing the
HASPAdmin Control Center
If your license key is plugged into your physical machine and your browser returns a
"404"(page not found) error when you click the Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center button in
the CEIPortal, you may need to install the HASP drivers. Follow the instructions above to do
so.
Advanced Troubleshooting - HASP ACC configuration &Firewalls
The primary functionality available within the ACC is the configuration of access to CEI's Flex
License Keys. By default, the keys will "broadcast" licenses to all systems on a network so any
system on that network with CEIsoftware and the Sentinel HASP driver installed will be capable
of using the licenses. In a large network with multiple sub-networks or in the case of users
remote accessing the network, additional configuration may be necessary.
Click the Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center (ACC) button at the bottom of the CEIPortal;
on the page that loads, select Configuration from the Administration Options.

To connect to a license on another machine, select the Access to Remote License Managers
tab. "Allow Access to Remote Licenses" and "Broadcast Search for Remote Licenses" should be
selected. Select "Aggressive Search for Remote Licenses" to allow access to licenses blocked
by Firewalls.
Enter the IP address of the system which has the physical key plugged into it. Press Enter and
then type the machine name of that computer. Once the desired changes have been made,
click Submit.
Hardware and software firewalls should be checked to verify that Port 1947 is open and
accessible as well.
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Fonts are Crowded
Summary:
Occasionally the font on a report will appear smashed together when you create a PDF. This
article will take you through the steps to adjust your computer's DPI and Display settings to
resolve this issue.
Please check your Display DPI and Resolution Settings. The DPI should be set at 100% or 96

Temporary Folder
Occasionally a program will use the Windows Temp folder to store files (e.g., ProWrite export
tables). This location typically looks like C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\temp.
How To: Change the Data Path
Query:
How do Ichange the data path in ProWrite?
Response:
Save any changes to the open forms. ProWrite will need to restart to apply the new data path
and any unsaved changes will be lost.
Click the Tools button on the main toolbar and select Change Datapath from the menu. The
program will notify you that it must close to change the data path. Click the OK button to
continue.
Navigate to the folder that contains the data file and click OK. If the selected folder does not
contain the ProWriteData.adb file, the explorer dialog will reload. You may select Cancel to
leave the data path unchanged. ProWrite will restart once the explorer dialog is closed whether
the path has been changed or not.
You can confirm that the data path is correct by clicking Tools on the main toolbar and viewing
the path listed next to Change Datapath.

Verify Chemistry on Filler Metals
Query:
Why do some filler metals display "Verify Chemistry" in the A-No. field?
Response:
ProWrite uses the filler metal's chemical composition from Section IIC in combination with
Section IX, QW-442 to verify the A-No. When the A-No. of a filler metal is unable to be verified
by the software, the "Verify Chemistry" flag alerts the user to do so.
In some cases, a procedure may qualify to be welded using any filler metal that has the same
A-No. If the chemistry is not verified, the software must limit the procedure to the filler metal
that was used to qualify that procedure.

WELDI NG PROCEDURE SPECI FI CATI ON ( WPS)
WPS Processes: Minimum Deposit Thickness
Information:
The minimum deposit thickness for each WPS process is displayed as 0.0000. The minimum
weld metal thickness for welding procedures is not calculated and is not essential within
Section IX. Consult the tables in QW-451.
Methodology: Automatic WPS Number
Summary:
ProWrite automatically assigns a WPS number when the form is entered. You can change this
number to any alphanumeric value with a maximum length of 16 characters, or you can leave
the automatically generated number. This article explains how ProWrite determines that
number.
The automatic WPSnumbers reference multiple aspects of the WPS. In the examples above,
the numbers have been broken down into their separate parts.
Process Category
If the WPS is for a standard weld, nothing will appear in this section, so the WPS number will
begin with the "Process Type" section. The following codes will appear for other welds:
l Fw - Fillet Weld
l Ov - Overlay
l Hf - Hard facing
l Stud - Stud Weld
l Brz - Braze

Troubleshooting:WPS Creation
Summary:
This article aims to address any issues you may experience while creating a WPS in ProWrite
S9.
No PQRs found for these parameters
When attempting to create a WPSfrom a single PQR, this error may appear because
there is no PQRavailable or because the code checking has been disabled on the available
PQRs.
14 | Page
Knowledge Base
To correct or avoid this error, create a PQR that matches the WPS specifications. Code checking
cannot be turned back on once it has been disabled, so any PQR on which code checking has
been disabled must be recreated with code checking enabled before it can be used for a WPS.
View the PQR help files for more information
When attempting to create a WPS from multiple PQRs, this error may appear for a
number of reasons.
n It may occur because there is no PQR available. If this is the case, create PQRs that
match the WPSspecifications.
n If the error occurs after the first or second PQR has been selected, it may be caused by a
specification in QW-200.4(b): when joining PQRs with a base metal thickness equal to or
greater than 1/2", the proceeding PQR base metal must be greater than the one prior if
using GTAW, SMAW, GMAW, PAW, or SAW processes.
To work around this error, select the first PQR, click the first PQR button again and click
cancel (instead of selecting a PQR), and then select the next PQR as normal.
n If the error occurs after the first or second PQR has been selected, the PWHT types on the
PQRs may be different. To correct this, select PQRs with matching PWHT types.
You must pick a standard test PQR
This error occurs when the selected PQR is an Impact Test Only PQR. These records only
consider supplementary essential variables. In order to create a WPS from an Impact Test Only
PQR, a standard PQR must also be used.
If the impact tested PQR was performed with both the essential and supplementary essential
variables, change the "Test requirements" field on the PQR Properties tab to "With
supplementary". The PQR can then be used to create a WPS.
