STEP 1

Find or download the KEYCHECK program

Sometimes Keycheck.exe is installed in a sub-folder to the software program folder. (For example c:\program files\tcadpro is where TubeCAD Pro is typically installed.) The sub-folder name will be "key".

The latest Keycheck.exe program is also available at our web site at this address: http://www.advancedtubular.com/key/setup_keycheck.exe

On the system that has the hardware key installed, run the KEYCHECK program. It will automatically check for the key when it start. If you need to you can always press the Checkbutton:

You can also use a right-click on the log to display the pop-up menu and press "Check for Key".

If you have a connection to the internet, press the Send Log button to display Send Log dialog.

STEP 6

Wait for a return e-mail from Advanced Tubular

We will build a custom KeyTimeSet.exe program for your hardware key.

If you need the update immediately, then it is best to call our office at 248 674-2059 to confirm that we received the e-mail request. (Ask for John Esralian.)

STEP 7

We will send you an e-mail with a web address for downloading the update program for your key

You will find a hyperlink in our e-mail to a file on our web site. Download and run the file by clicking on this hyperlink. (You can either choose to SAVE the file or RUN the file. The program should run fine either way.)

Be sure to run the program on the same computer that has the hardware key being updated. The key must be present for this update to work since this software updates the key's memory.
