Activating the DYNAST Hardware Key

by Michal Sevcenko, MSc., DYN

To activate the hardware key for your DYNAST Server, we need to record into the key the range of IP addresses of N client computers that should be able to access your Server. (N is the number specified in your License Agreement.) All the client computers must have the first three numbers in their IP addresses identical, the addresses should differ by the fourth number only. For example, if the first three numbers are 147, 32 and 241, the IP addresses of all the client computers will be in the form “147.32.241.xxx” where xxx is a number specified by the administrator of your computer network. He/she can specify N by different numbers, each within the range between 1 and 255. The xxx numbers can be changed by your administrator any time later, but the first three numbers in the IP addresses of your client computers recorded in the hardware key will remain fixed (unless we will not change them upon your request).

If you have received the hardware protection key that has not been activated yet, we can activate it across the Internet. If this is the case, please, ask your administrator to follow these steps:

  1. Install the Dynast Server on a PC compatible computer with the Microsoft Windows 2000/NT/XP operation system with an access to the Internet. (This computer does not need to be exploited as a platform for the DYNAST Server exclusively; it can be used as well for other applications concurrently.)
  2. Contact us at dyn@virtual.cvut.cz to discuss a specific time when the activation can be carried out, since your and our part of the activation must be done at the same time.
  3. Download the activation program from http://virtual.cvut.cz/dyn/download/bin/hclient.exe
  4. Run the activation program from the computer on which the DYNAST Server has been installed. The device drivers for the hardware key should have been installed automatically during the installation of the DYNAST Server.
  5. Wait until we activate the key. We will let you know when it is ready by e-mail (it takes few minutes only).

Note:
If the operation system on the computer you are using for the activation is not supported by DYNAST Server, you can download the latest drivers for the hardware key from its vendor at http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/hasp4/enduser.asp.
