I just installed nucoder and lic

How do you access it from within ED?

First you need to enable it in the IDE. See Encoder tab in the project properties:


Then you will see it enabled in the popup for the project in Workspace window.
Alternatively you can enable encoder as a filter for publishing and it will encode your files everytime you upload any php file from this project.

The second tap in my PHPED says "Mapping" not "Encoder"

I have purchased and used the nucoder through a console, but I want to use it in PHPED, how od I get the Encoder Tab?

Integration with NuCoder is not avalable in PhpED STANDARD. Only PRO and ADVANTAGE support this feature.
Please check with Version Comparison page:

I thought I did have Professional. We purchased a 4 license package, and that isn't available in standard. How do I check this?

Edit: I just checked the original invoice and I do indeed have Professional, not standard, but only Standard features have been turned on for the last year.

probably you installed version 4.6 or an earlier. Integration with NuCoder is available only if you have PhpED PRO or ADVANTAGE and its version is 5.0 or higher.
