Important Information for Purchase Clients
Software Licence
In order to run QW8 software with the Communicator keypads, a licence dongle will need to be fitted into the parallel or USB port on your computer.
The dongle stores the total number of keypads that you are licensed to use and also stores a list of the IML products and features that you are licensed to use with the keypads.
The dongle is portable and can be transferred between computers, enabling you to run the system from different computers (as long as you have QW8 loaded onto them). QW8 can be loaded on to as many computers as required.
