5.1 Hardware Security attaching the key For a system running both AccuMark and V-Stitcher together, two keys and a license file are required. One key and license file for the AccuMark (sentinel) and one key for V-Stitcher (hasp). For a system running stand-alone V-Stitcher, two keys are also required; one key for the V-Stitcher (hasp) and a key and license file enabling the AccuMark interface (sentinel) is required.

Attach the security key(s) (dongle) to the parallel and/or USB port of the PC or workstation. A Security License File is unique to each security key (dongle). The combination of key and license file will allow activation of the AccuMark Family software as stated in the software subscription contract. 5.2 Retrieving your License File The security license file name is a combination of the product and key number with the file extension of .lic, for example accumark111.lic. Using the Install License program, copy the appropriate license file onto the system with the matching key number. If the license file was received through Email, save the attached file to a location on your hard drive or on the desktop (for example, c:\program files\common files\gerber technology\gt license manager). If the license file was received on a floppy, it may be installed directly from the floppy and/or copied to your hard drive. 5.3 Software Security License Install License program The AccuMark Family Product CD installs an Install License program that easily copies your license file into the proper destination for use by AccuMark applications. Use the Install License icon on the Desktop, or from the LaunchPad on the "AccuMark Explorer/Utilities" page, or use the AccuMark V8 folder, select "AccuMark Explorer/Utilities" and then "Install License". A dialog box displays allowing you to choose the Product and source location for the license file (use the ellipses () button to locate your license file). Note the key number on the right had side of the dialog box and match to the right license file. Run the program once for each Product. The program, by default, looks for files of type .lic. It will prompt you to overwrite the existing license file if one already exists 6. Starting AccuMark Professional Edition components Start the AccuMark applications from the following locations: 1.
