Installing the Dongle Software

The dongle software is installed when the badging software is installed.  There are 4 possible scenarios for installing the dongle software, depending upon how you intend to use the badging software.

1.  Standalone
The dongle and badging software are to be installed at the same computer and the software will be run from the computer's keyboard and screen.
In this case, install the software using the default installer settings and attach the dongle when the installation is completed.

2.  Combined Terminal Server/Dongle License Server
You plan to install the dongle and badging software on a computer that will be accessed from other computers on the network as a Terminal Server.  This computer will also be used as the Dongle License Server.  At the Select Components screen in the software installer, also check Network Dongle License Server.  This will install a service on the computer that will provide access to the software license(s) via the Local Area Network (LAN).

3.  Terminal Server with a Dongle License Server Elsewhere
You plan to install the badging software on a computer that will be accessed from other computers on the network as a Terminal Server.  The dongle will be installed on a Dongle License Server computer elsewhere.  In this case, install the software using the default installer settings at the Terminal Server, and then perform the Dongle License Server installation below (if not already performed) at the Dongle License Server (see 4 below).

4.  Dongle License Server
You plan to install one or more copies of the badging software on computers on the LAN or Internet or Terminal Server, but install the dongle on a separate Dongle License Server connected the LAN or Internet.  At the badging station computers, install the software using the default installer settings.  At the Dongle License Server (which may be on the LAN the computers are connected to, or on the Internet), select Network Dongle License Server Only on the Select Components screen.  Once the software has installed, the dongle can be attached.  See below for details on how to a access a Dongle License Server via the Internet.
