AccuMark Family Security

AccuMark Products use a combination of software based security technology and a hardware security key (dongle) to license and protect the software. Version 8 software will not run on a system that does not have access to the security key and license file.

Security Dongle attaching the key

Attach the security key (dongle) to the parallel or USB port of the system. A Security License File is unique to each security key (dongle). The combination of key and license file will allow activation of the AccuMark Family software as stated in the software subscription contract. LOCAL or Workstation Security: each workstation gets its own key and license file Concurrent or Networked security: a license server will be used to harness the key and license file and the workstations are set up to point to the license server.

Workstation Security
If you are using a workstation system with its own local security key and license file, attach the security key (dongle) to the parallel port of the PC or workstation. A Security License File is unique to each security key (dongle). The combination of key and license file will allow activation of the AccuMark Family software as stated in the software subscription contract. If you are using a workstation or a server that will be using concurrent licensing, please see the document Concurrent Licensing that is in the Training Docs folder on the AccuMark CD for information. Retrieving your License File The security license file name is a combination of the product and key number with the file extension of .lic, for example accumark123.lic. Copy the appropriate license file onto the system with the matching key number. If the license file was received through Email, save the attached file to a location on your hard drive or on the desktop (for example, c:\program files\common files\gerber technology\gt license manager). If the license file was received on a floppy, it may be installed directly from the floppy and/or copied to your hard drive. Important! Version 8.2.0 or higher will require a license upgrade from previous 8.1 or 8.0 software. If an 8.0.x or 8.1.x version of software is currently in use and will be upgraded to 8.2.x, the license file must also be upgraded. Please contact your customer service representative for assistance. Software Security License Install License program The AccuMark Family Product CD installs an Install License program that easily copies your license file into the proper destination for use by AccuMark applications. Use the Install License icon on the Desktop, or from the LaunchPad on the "AccuMark Explorer/Utilities" page, or use the AccuMark V8 folder, select "AccuMark Explorer/Utilities" and then "Install License". A dialog box displays allowing you to choose the Product and source location for the license file (use the ellipses () button to locate your license file). Note the key number in the dialog box and match to the right license file. Run the program once for each Product. The program, by default, looks for files of type .lic . It will prompt you to overwrite the existing license file if one already

exists. The Install License application will automatically verify if your key and license file match, and then display the license components allowing you to easily see the applications as specified by your license entitlement.
