Advanced Tubular uses a device called a "hardware key" to control licensing. Others refer to this as a "dongle." [1]
TYPES of HARDWARE KEYS
We use two types of hardware keys on our software - Timed Limited and Permanent
Timed-Limited Hardware Key
Timed Limited hardware keys contains clock and calendar with built-in memory. These keys are used to run software for a limited amount of time. So our software, when running with this type of key, will eventually time-out.
These keys can be updated through e-mails and internet downloads. (See the process for this below.)
Permanent Hardware Key
Permanent keys have no clock, so they never expire.
These keys are sent to customers after we have received full payment for software or hardware systems that have been shipped.
REQUESTING A TIME-EXTENSION ON A TIME-LIMITED KEY
Upon request, we can send you an executable program designed to update any Advanced Tubular time-limited key. Follow these steps to update your time-limited hardware key if it has expired.
