Installing Dongle Drivers
For the dongle (hardware lock) to do it’s job of allowing you to run CBAS in Real Mode, it must be accompanied by a matching license file, and the drivers for the dongle must be installed. Everything you need to do this should come on a floppy disk that accompanies the dongle and/or computer shipped from Production.
The license file, License.txt, should be copied from the floppy disk and pasted into the CBAS folder on the DPU computer. The job name on the dongle has to match the job name in the License.txt file. The CBAS version on the license file must match the CBAS version (for instance: CBAS Professional 2.1.X) that is running on the DPU, but does not have to match the dongle. So, to upgrade you CBAS version, you shouldn’t need a new dongle, just a license file. The License.txt file can be viewed as a text file, but cannot be altered in any way, or you will get an illegal license message.
To install the drivers for the dongle, click on the Run Me.bat file on the floppy. This works well with Windows 2000 or XP. With Windows 98, you will have to open the DongleInstall folder and run Install. Once the drivers are installed, plug the dongle into the USB port and it will install the dongle. CBAS should now run in Real Mode.
