Dongle not inserted correctly in a parallel port
If there is no dongle in the parallel
port, LUSAS
will check the 25-digit licence key and, if
current, will load a "limited" or "evaluation" version
of the software. Limits are 500 nodes, 250 elements, 1500
variables, 10 loadcases and 100 points.
-
Check the parallel port of your PC - if no dongle is present, this is causing the "limited version" to be used. You should locate the dongle and fix it firmly into the port.
-
Ensure that the dongle is placed in a parallel port
and not in a serial port. Note that serial ports can have the same 25
pin connector as a parallel port. If you are unsure, speak to a
member of your IT department.
-
There may be other dongles attached to the
PC that are causing a conflict. Try reversing the order of the dongles
– particularly placing them such that the LUSAS dongle is plugged
directly into the parallel port. If this does not work try using only
the dongle supplied by LUSAS
