Upgrading a Dongle

How-to Upgrade a Dongle

The programs Qinsy, Qimera, Qarto and Qastor all make use of the HASP licensing USB dongles.
When you have received an activation code, or a renewal code for your annual Support & Maintenance, this code needs to be entered in the License Manager program.

The License Manager program is automatically installed when installing one of the above mentioned programs, and it can be found in the Windows Start menu where it is listed under QPS.

(The License Manager can normally be found in the Common Files folder of your C-drive, where it can be accessed by all programs.
Usually the License Manager is installed here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\QPS\License-Manager.)

In the Qinsy Console the program can be started from the Help option :

• Insert the Qinsy dongle into the computer.
• Click on 'View License Status' to start the executable

The following screen will open:

• Press the 'Upgrade Dongle' button in the License Manager
  • The Upgrade Code dialog will appear:
    

    

    
    
    

• The code generated by QPS is delivered in an XML file.
  
  • You may either: open the file with a text editor and copy the part of the XML file that is highlighted in yellow:
    
    

    

    
    
    

• • Paste the upgrade code in the white area and press 'OK'.
    

    

    
    
    
  • Or you may: press 'Load XML File' to browse for the file. Open it and the upgrade code will automatically be placed in the Upgrade Code window.
    Press 'OK' to activate the code

A message will appear when the upgrade was carried out successfully:

• • Press 'Close' in the License Manager.

Now you can start up Qinsy.
