2
•Installation •Install USB dongle driver Two types of USB dongle driver: • Evaluation Dongle – monthly renewal is required • Commercial Dongle Evaluation Dongle: Run HASP_for_eveluation.exe
Commercial Dongle: Run Rainbow_for_commercal.exe
DON’T connect the USB dongle to laptop before & during driver installation 3
•Installation •Install USB dongle driver • After driver installed, connect USB dongle to laptop and Window will detect the devices. • Open Device Manager and check the dongle is installed probably. • If problem found, you should [1] re-install driver, or [2] lookup u pdate driver from HASP/Safenet(Rainbow) web sites. In Device Manager, Aladdin HASP Key is installed
In Device Manager, Rainbow USB SuperPro is installed
