1.8.a Software License
When the program first opens, you should see a “Welcome” dialog box that
shows the current status of your software license.
This program is protected by a software licensing system. You can have full
use of the program for 30 days free of charge, after which you must purchase
the software and obtain a password for continued use.
Most users will be able to start the program and begin the free trial period
immediately after installation. If you open the software and see a “Free Trial”
message, you can skip to section 1.8.c, Trial Period.
Unable to Obtain Authorization
If you attempt to start the program and receive an “Unable to obtain
authorization” message, you will need a hardware security key (HSK) to run
the program. HSKs for both PC and Macintosh are included with the full CD-
ROM package, or are available from Bio-Rad for downloaded software. If you
receive this message, turn off your computer, attach the appropriate HSK as
described in the following section, and restart the computer and program.
Note: Network License holders: Your network administrator is responsible for
the software license. If you have difficulty starting and running the
program, contact your administrator.
1.8.b Attaching the Hardware Security Key
(If Necessary)
Before attaching the HSK, you should first attempt to start the software
without the HSK. If the program opens successfully, you can skip this section.
Note: Some parallel port devices such as zip drives may be incompatible with
HSKs. Please check with your peripherals vendor.
