Volvo 3D-MC: Software activation (offline)

There are two activation licenses available for the Topcon 3D-MC app on Volvo excavators:

  • 1030734-01: 30-day trial license
  • 1019840-01: Full activation license

A Software Purchase Certificate will be generated with an activation serial number. This serial number must be inputted to 3D-MC to activate it, similar to how MAGNET products are handled.

You must also have an active myTopcon account for this process.

Once the Software Purchase Certificate has been obtained, you will need to proceed to myTopcon for product activation.

After logging in to myTopcon, tap on the Apps button in the upper left. From the list, go to Product Activation.

Enter the serial number from the Software Purchase Certificate.

Click CONTINUE.

You should now see that you will be activating 3D-MC for Volvo Construction Equipment.

Click CONTINUE.

You will need to enter the machine's device ID. This can be found in 3D-MC under View > About, then tapping on the License button in the lower left.

Once the machine device ID has been entered, click CONTINUE.

Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).

Once the device has been successfully activated, you should see a Device Activation Key on the screen. Click on the DOWNLOAD LICENSE FILE button to download the license file.

You will also receive an email with an attached PDF of the Software Activation Code.

The license file is simple to use, but there are a few steps that need to be done before loading it into 3D-MC.

First, open the license file with a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.

Inside the license file, the numbers and letters highlighted are the activation code.

To prevent issues when applying the license file to 3D-MC, delete the first line with the serial number and the words "LICENSE_KEY" from the file. The file should ONLY contain the activation code.

Save the file, and copy it to a USB drive.

To activate the software, go to the View menu, and tap on About. This will bring up the 3D-MC version information.

Under the software version number, you should also see the machine's chassis ID and excavator options. If Excavator is unchecked, the software has not been activated.

Tap on the License button in the lower left corner.

There will be four input boxes on this screen:

  • Device ID: This is the ID of the Volvo display. There should also be a number direction after the Device ID that will match the machine's PIN.
  • Serial Number: Serial number provided on the Software Purchase Certificate.
  • Username: Your myTopcon account e-mail.
  • Password: Your myTopcon account password.

Enter the Serial Number and correct myTopcon username and password.

You will also need to check the Already have activation code? box.

On the right side of the screen is a button with three dots. Insert the USB with the activation license file, and tap this button.

Make sure the Open from drop-down menu is reading the udisk or USBDisk directory. You should see the license file appear in the list.

Select the activation license file, and tap OK in the lower right.

Before hitting the OK button, you should see the activation code that is being applied.

In the example at right, the activation license file has not been properly modified to remove the original line 1 and "LICENSE_KEY". This code will not properly activate the system.

Tap OK to apply the activation license.

Once the code has been applied, you will be returned to the About screen.

You should now see a checkbox next to the Excavator option. This indicates the software has been activated.
