To use AseptSoft you must have an active subscription. Visit aseptsoft.ch for more information, or contact us to get your license.
🔑 Login
Once you own an Aseptconn account, log in using the login window that appears when AseptSoft starts (or when your session expires).
AseptSoft uses OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow with PKCE — your credentials never pass through AseptSoft itself. When you click Sign in with browser, AseptSoft opens your system browser to the Aseptconn identity portal, where you enter your email and password directly on the Aseptconn site. After a successful sign-in, the browser silently redirects back to AseptSoft with a short-lived authorization code, which the application exchanges for your session and refresh tokens. The refresh token is renewed automatically in the background.
Login Flow
-
📴 Offline check — AseptSoft first attempts to use a cached license token from your local storage (valid for up to 30 days offline)
-
🔄 Token refresh — If the cached token is expired, AseptSoft attempts an automatic refresh using the stored refresh token
-
🌐 Browser sign-in — If refresh fails (e.g., first launch, long offline period), AseptSoft opens your system browser to complete sign-in on the Aseptconn identity portal
Offline mode: AseptSoft supports offline usage for up to 30 days after your last successful online login. After this period, an online connection is required to re-validate your license.
🌐 Signing In
When AseptSoft needs you to sign in, the login window appears with a single Sign in with browser button. Your credentials are never typed into AseptSoft — they only go into the Aseptconn site in your browser, keeping the desktop application free of any secret handling.
Click Sign in with browser to open the Aseptconn identity portal in your default browser. AseptSoft then shows a waiting state while you complete authentication:
Sign in on the Aseptconn page — if you were already signed in during a previous session, the browser redirects back immediately with no prompt. Once the browser shows Login successful, you can close the tab and return to AseptSoft. The login window closes automatically as soon as the session and refresh tokens are received.
If you change your mind before completing sign-in, click Cancel to abort and return to the initial state. The sign-in attempt also times out automatically after five minutes of inactivity.
Hardware binding: Your license is bound to the machine that completed the sign-in. If you move to a new computer, sign in again there — the old device's offline token becomes invalid automatically.
