Introduction 
This document explains the procedure of using a main dongle and an additional ColorGPS
dongle in ErgoSoft RIP software V14.

Using a main dongle for the ErgoSoft RIP and an additional ColorGPS dongle allows
transferring the ColorGPS license from one RIP system to another one.

Requirements 
Main dongle with any license for using the ErgoSoft RIP V14.
Additional dongle with license for portable ColorGPS. Please note that this is a special
license that can only be used together with a main license on another dongle.

Step 1: Installing the Main Dongle 
Plug in the main dongle; do not plug in the additional ColorGPS dongle.
Start the ErgoSoft RIP and enter the license for the main dongle.

Step 2: Installing the Additional ColorGPS Dongle 
Close the ErgoSoft RIP including RIP Server, JobCenter, Print Clients, etc. Best, do this
by using the function Shutdown ErgoSoft RIP of the Troubleshouting tab in the
Maintenance Tool. The Maintenance Tool is available from the ErgoSoft RIP program
group.
Plug in the additional dongle while the main dongle is still plugged in.
Wait until Windows has installed the new hardware (in case that Windows detects new
hardware).
Start the ErgoSoft RIP. It will automatically ask for the license for the second (ColorGPS
only) dongle.

Checking License Information 
When checking the license information using menu Help > License Info you will see a slightly
different dialog: A button Second Dongle... is added at the bottom which will display
another dialog box showing the license for the additional ColorGPS dongle.
