License code required

The first time the app opens, enter your license code (for example A320-k7Rm9Qx2), exactly as given: capital and small letters matter. Activation needs an internet connection once. Each code works on one device only; after activation the simulator runs offline. Ask your instructor for a code.

New tablet? On the old tablet tap ⚙ SETTINGS on the panel frame, then Deactivate & Transfer License, then enter the same code on the new one.

No code yet? Try the free demo with code A320-DEMO (no internet needed). The demo includes one lighting function (MAIN ON/OFF) and one audio function (boarding music); the other functions ask for a license code.
