kckku Posted October 3, 2024 Report Posted October 3, 2024 I just got my first Soft-NA application. The software is installed and everything is working fine. I am worried that at some point the USB dongle will get lost out in the field. Has anyone experienced this? Can I duplicate the dongle as a backup or would I have to contact Omron to get a replacement? Quote
Str8jCkt Posted October 4, 2024 Report Posted October 4, 2024 @kckku Contact your local Omron Rep. Omron does have a Digital Key Generator that can be used in lieu of the USB dongle. You still purchase a license like you would with the USB dongle but it generates a key that is serialized to the hardware so not as mobile/flexible as the dongle. You generate C2V file and it gets sent to Omron Japan for activation and they send you the license back. Only thing is if there are any major hardware changes to the PC then the license can stop working. It is good to keep a spare USB around incase machine needs a PC change. Then can use the USB on new PC until you purchase and receive a new hardware license. Quote
kckku Posted October 21, 2024 Author Report Posted October 21, 2024 (edited) My local Omron rep. didn't suggest this digital license method. It's good to know that this method exists. For now, we will label the dongle and tie it to the PC with a steel aircraft cable. Hopefully someone will not just throw it away. If there is money still on the project, I will buy a spare dongle to keep around just in case. Edited October 21, 2024 by kckku remove picture Quote
