USB Single User Lock
From XMS Wiki - http://wikis.aquaveo.com/xms/
There are three basic steps in the hardware lock installation process:
1. Installing the lock itself
2. Installing the hardware lock software
3. Verifying the installation
An explanation of each of these steps is outlined below. Most of the installation process has been automated with an automatic installation wizard.
NOTE – The hardware lock contains an electronic circuit board, so handle it with care throughout the installation process or at any time when it becomes necessary to transfer or handle the lock.
STEP 1:
Installing the lock itself
Simply plug the lock into one of the USB ports on your computer. The USB port is most commonly found on the back of the computer, but some machines also have ports on the front panel.
STEP 2:
Automatic Hardware Lock Software Installation
The automatic install does almost everything for you – from installing the system drivers to applying any patches you might need. On the CD containing your modeling software, there is a Utilities folder. In the Utilities folder there is a folder called HwLock. This folder contains a program called Setup.exe that will install all of the correct drivers and patches. It automatically detects which drivers and fixes are necessary and installs them to your hard drive.
If you do not have a software CD, you can download the latest drivers for your hardware lock here: http://utils.aquaveo.com/SentinelSystemDriverInstaller_7.4.2.exe
Action:
* Insert your product CD into your CD-ROM drive.
* Close any programs currently in use as you will have to restart your computer after the installation
in order for the new drivers to take effect.
* From the Start bar, select Run.
* Type the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive followed by a colon and the string \utils\hwlock\usb_hwlock.exe
* Follow the prompts.
NOTE: Use add/remove programs to remove any Sentinel or EMRL drivers that are currently installed on your machine, install the updated drivers, and reboot your machine. Please note that when you are installing the new drivers, the USB lock should NOT be attached to your machine. Attach the lock after you shut down your machine and preferably before starting it up again.
STEP 3:
Verifying the Installation - Using the Enable Wizard
Explanation: Once the drivers have been installed, you need to run the software and verify that the installation was successful. To determine if the hardware lock is functional follow these steps:
Action:
* Start your the XMS software. * If all steps have been completed correctly, you will instantly be able to use the software, and the installation is complete.
If the software loads up and prompts you either to enable the software or run in demo mode, a problem occurred with the installation.
To remedy this,
Action:
* Load up the Enable Wizard by selecting the “Enable” tab on the window, or click on the “File” menu, select
“Register,” and click on the “Enable Wizard” button.
* Follow all remaining instructions and select the “Single User Hardware Lock” option when prompted.
