This section explains the entire flow from launching Sunny License Manager to completing license registration.
For details on how to issue a license file, refer to the manual for each MicroPeckerX product.
License Registration Procedure
STEP 1: Connect MicroPeckerX to the PC and launch Sunny License Manager
- Connect the MicroPeckerX main unit to the PC using a USB cable. Use the supplied USB cable or another suitable cable to connect MicroPeckerX to a USB port on the PC.

STEP 2: Write the License File
- Click the Write License button in Sunny License Manager, or drag and drop a license file (.snylic) onto the window to open the Write License dialog.

If you drag and drop a license file (.snylic), the full path and file name appear in Select License File. Alternatively, click the file selection button to choose a license file.
