1010 Getting Started with MyCalyx

MyCalyx is a web portal that Calyx customers can use to download the current version of Point and PointCentral as well as manage their accounts online (add seats, designate users, e.g.).

A one-time license purchase is made for each account and an individual seat is purchased for each user. After the initial purchase is made, organizations can purchase additional seats at any time without purchasing another license.
