How do I install a license dongle?

Solution

Before connecting the dongle to the USB port, you will need to install the dongle drivers so Windows will detect the dongle.

You can either download the dongle driver through the View Attachments link below or install it from the aspenONE media. 
 

To install the dongle drivers, follow these steps:

1) You will need to obtain an aspenONE media (Engineering, Manufacturing or APM).

2) Run setup.exe.

3) Click the Install and configure SLM (Software License Manager) software icon from Welcome screen. and then Accept the terms of the agreement to proceed.

4) Expand SLM Tools and check the Dongle Driver checkbox and click Next (make sure to uncheck the SLM License server if this is a standalone license).

5) Proceed through the installer and install the dongle drivers.

6) Once the installation is finished, plug the dongle into the USB port and Windows should automatically detect it.

7) To confirm that the dongle is working, run the SLM Configuration Wizard and click the Config button. If you see Sentinel Hardlock at the top of the Locking Information screen, then the dongle is working.
