The Software Protection Key
The software protection key (dongle) provides copy protection for the
software that is installed on your workstation. Avid|DS will not start unless
the dongle identification number matches the information in the license file
on your workstation's hard drive.
The dongle does not require batteries as it receives electrical power from the
parallel port. So, before attaching the dongle, you should verify that the
parallel port is active.
Your workstation is delivered with a license file already on the hard drive. This
license file was used for testing prior to shipment. Your Avid|DS reseller will
provide a valid license file for your dongle. For more information, refer to
Licensing Avid|DS and Avid|DS RP on page 103.
To install the software protection key
1. Attach the dongle to the parallel (LPT1) port on the back of the workstation.
2. Start the workstation and log on as an Administrator.
3. Right-click on My Computer and choose Device Manager.
4. Select Ports (COM & LPT) and select ECP Printer Port (LPT1).
5. Right-click on ECP Printer Port (LPT1) and choose Properties.
6. Click the General tab and verify that the Device Status says “This device is
working properly”.
7. If not, close the dialog box, right-click on ECP Printer Port (LPT1) and
choose Enable.
On a rack mount workstation, the input/output panel (which
contains the parallel LPT1 port) is to the left when viewing the back
of the workstation base unit.
