Attach the Hardware Key (B.A.S.I.S. License Server
Computer Only)
B.A.S.I.S. software is protected by a hardware security key. There are two types
of hardware security keys available for use with B.A.S.I.S.: parallel port and
USB. You may request either. Please remember to physically attach the hardware
key (“dongle” adapter) directly to the respective port on the computer that has
License Server installed in order for the software to run properly.
A hardware key is only needed on the server running License Server. Each client
computer running B.A.S.I.S. ET Third Edition uses a software license instead of
a hardware key.
Configuring a Parallel Port Hardware Key
If you are using a hardware key that attaches to the parallel port, no special
configuration is needed for the hardware key; simply attach the hardware key to
the parallel port.
Configuring a USB Hardware Key
If you are using a hardware key that attached to the parallel port, then you must
install a driver in order for Windows to recognize the device.
Important: You must install the driver for the hardware key BEFORE attaching the
hardware key to the PC.
