13 Installing SmartKey
The installation of the SmartKey drivers is executed by application SmartKey Driver Installer (SDI). SDI makes it
possible to install and uninstall all the drivers needed for correct operation of SmartKey: the drivers for SmartKey
Parallel, those for SmartKey USB and those for Global Security System (GSS), the automatic protection program.
Note that if you are using a SmartKey USB DL (Driver Less) no driver installation is required.
Moreover, you can integrate the SmartKey installation procedures in the installation package of your own program.
This is possible thanks to the libraries supplied in the development kit provided by Eutronsec. The functions can be
integrated with leading software products that generate distribution packages such as InstallShield.
13.1 Warnings on installation
SmartKey USB can be fitted and removed while the computer is operating (as specified by the USB standard). SmartKey
Parallel must be fitted before the computer is switched on, and the printer must be connected in the daisy-chain manner.
Otherwise, both SmartKey Parallel and the printer may not operate correctly.
13.2 Options of SmartKey Driver Installer (SDI)
SDI provides three options for the three types of installation and unistallation: SmartKey Parallel
,
SmartKey USB and
Global Security System. Figure 2 shows the graphic interface for SmartKey USB that is the same as the one for
SmartKey Parallel and Global Security System.

SDI's graphic interface provides three options:
• Install: install the drivers of the selected type
• Uninstall: uninstall the drivers of the selected type
•
Remove: uninstall the drivers without controlling any dependencies.
If the installation was unsuccessful, SDI opens a pop-up panel showing details of the failed operations and the error
number of the operating system.
