Introduction to Data Synchronisation Studio

Data Synchronisation Studio is a Application to connect and synchronise Data between systems.

DS3 tackles the concept of Import, Export and Synchronisation in a unique way. Rather than looking at events or messages in queues which are typically complicated distributed systems and error prone. DS3 takes the approach of Set based Reconciliation with instant Data preview and NO State. This allows DS3 to operate exactly the same way every time to guarantee consistency and high performance through set based data sets.

License Key Activation

Data Synchronisation Studio (Data Sync) is activated with your license key via your internet connection against https://www.simego.com. The activation is refreshed automatically every 15 days to keep the activation alive.

When you first open Data Sync you will need to open the Help menu and select Register License. This will open the Register License Key window.

Register

Just enter your license key and click OK.

Activate

If you do not have an internet connection and need to activate your key, please see our page on Offline License Key Activation. Otherwise take a look at the troubleshooting section below if you are having issues.

Moving the License

If you need to change your machine that has your license activated, log onto your account at Simego.com. Then locate the license and corresponding machine (Client ID) and delete the activation.

Please note you cannot remove offline license files, only online activations.

NB: Remember to uninstall Data Sync from your old machine so then it does not attempt to re-activate.

Troubleshooting

If the activation is failing it might be that the outbound connection to Simego.com has been blocked, the license key has been entered incorrectly, or there are no activations left on the license.

Connection Blocked

To resolve the connection being blocked you need to enable the outbound connection to Simego.com on port 443 as it is HTTPS.

The specific URL Data Sync uses to validate the license is https://www.simego.com/subscription/entitlement/{LicenseKey} .

Activating the license key through the online method means that you can always move it if you need to.

If enabling the connection is not possible then you will need a permanent offline license file. Please follow the guidance on the offline activation page.

No Activations left

If there are no activations available then follow the guide above for moving the license.
