Installing Network Dongles

INTRODUCTION

The installation process will vary depending on the licence you have. There are three

types of licence:

Softlock Licence
The period of the licence can be purchased. This is issued for short term rental of Caddie or a Student licence. At the end of the time period the licence will revert to Demo
If no time has been purchased the licence is Evaluation and lasts for 14 days. After 14 days the licence reverts to DEMO. It can be converted to any other licence at any time
Hardware Licence (Dongle / HASP
Full Caddie, needs a Hardware key which also needs an additional driver to be installed
(see below)
Network licence (Network Dongle / HASP)
Needs a special hardware key and additional Licence Manager software to be installed
on the Network Dongle Server. This is covered at the end of this document.

NOTES:

Evaluation lasts for 14 days. Caddie will automatically be in Evaluation when

Caddie runs for the first time
It is the selected licence (see later)

Demo is a Caddie Application full installation without the requirement of any hardware or software licence. The only limitation is the ability to save or copy drawings or drawing elements. Caddie will run in ’DEMO’ mode when:

The Softlock 14 day evaluation period has finished
A hardware dongle is not present at the time of Caddie loading or it has been removed with Caddie running
The hardware dongle has not been authorised
There are no more Network licences available

The choice of licence will be made during running Caddie for the first time.

INSTALLATION

If you have a security dongle install the software before plugging It in.

To install the software insert the DVD into your DVD player and it will Auto Run.

If it doesn't run, use Windows Explorer to find the file ”Setupsplash.exe” on the root of the DVD and run it.

INSTALLING CADDIE

From the dialogue, select ”Caddie 16 – Full Installation”.


Select ’NEXT’	Accept the licence and click ’NEXT’

Enter you details and select ’NEXT’	Use the default install path (you can change it if required). Select ’NEXT’

For most users select ’TYPICAL’ and ’NEXT’	This is the summary. Select ’INSTALL’

Wait until Caddie has finished installing	Then select ’FINISH’
	During installation Caddie may require to install other software, such as C++ Redistributables and a HASP driver. These need to be installed as Caddie will not work without them. So if asked, allow installation. If required, restart your computer.

If asked ”Install the Symbol Library”, it is recommended to say ”YES”. If you choose to say ”NO” you can install it at any time, from the menu, as shown above.

Installing Vio

If you have also purchased the rendering extension (Vio), select Rendering Extension from the installation menu.


Select ’NEXT’	Select ’INSTALL’

Wait for installation to complete an select ’NEXT’	Then select ’FINISH’

RUNNING CADDIE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Windows Vista or Windows 7

When running Caddie for the first time right click the Caddie 16 Launch Icon and "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR"

Windows XP

Just Launch Caddie

If you have an Evaluation or a Time limited licence, skip the next step.

Plug Dongle In

If you have been provided with a ’Dongle Key’ (HASP) then now is the time to plug

it in. Insert the dongle into a convenient USB socket and wait for it to light.

Run Caddie

When Caddie runs for the first time there are a number of settings that need to be finalised so you will see the following dialogue.

Select you region
Select the Licence type.
If you have been provided with a ’Dongle Key’ (HASP) then choose
’I have a dongle connected to this computer’

If you have been provided with a network dongle choose
’I connect to a network dongle on another computer’
(see instructions below for installing a network dongle).
If you have a time limited licence, you will not have a dongle. You will have an
activation code
’I have a time limited software licence with an activation code’
If you are evaluating Caddie then select
’I don’t have a Caddie Licence – I am evaluating Caddie’
Select the applications you want to load.
A suggested selection is either
ArchUK or SA_Arch and 3D.
Other applications can be added at a later date.
·Once set select ’OK’.

Updating the Dongle information

Go to the Help Menu and select ”Dongle Info” and you will see the dialogue below.

If you have a the software has been installed correctly, you should see the number of your dongle mentioned.

If it Has a number

You are running in either Evaluation or Demo mode. If this is required then there is nothing else to do
If you have a Softlock then you will need to activate your licence. The easiest way is to connect your computer to the internet and select the ’ACTIVTE NOW’ button. Manual activating is also possible by selecting your required options.
If you have a dongle select the ”Download Latest Security File” button. Once done you will get the following message.

Select 'YES' and Caddie will restart in the mode you are licensed for.

If you have firewall or your Windows security blocks the replacement of the file you will have to first remove the existing one manually. To do this go to ’MENU | | HELP | WINDOWS EXPLORER’. This should open Windows Explorer at the Caddie folder. Find a file called MSDBUTILS.DLL and delete it. Now try the ”Download Latest Security File ” again.

If dongle number is blank

If you have a Dongle and it is plugged in and lit, run the ”Uninstall Hasp Driver” followed by a ’Reinstall Hasp Driver’ from the ’Hasp Tools’ Tab.

Note the driver installed should be as shown or higher.

See the Caddie Web Site (FAQ) for further information regarding Windows Permissions.

If this still doesn’t produce a number then please contact Caddie (ACS).

INSTALLING NETWORK DONGLES

Before installing the Network Dongle

On workstation on the network will act as a ’Dongle Server’. It is not necessary that this server has Caddie install but before we install the necessary Net Dongle Licence Manager, we need to ensure the dongle drivers are installed. This can be done by installing Caddie from the Install Menu on the CD (as already mentioned). If Caddie is not required on this workstation then just install the HASP driver (also on the Install Menu).

On the Dongle Server:

Using Windows Explorer find and install the latest Hasp driver from the Drivers / Aladdin folder of the Caddie CD.

Find the Licence Manager in the Net Hasp Files folder on the CD (LMSetup.exe) and OPEN (run) it..


Check the driver is 8.32 or higher. Select ’NEXT’	Accept the licence and click ’INSTALL’

You can install the Licence Manager as a service or load it at startup. It is preferably to load it as a Service. Select the required option and ’NEXT’	Use the default install path (you can change it if required). Select ’NEXT’

Use the provided group name and ’NEXT’	Select ’NEXT’ and the Licence Manager will be installed.
If you have a Network HASP plug into a spare USB socket and wait for it to light. If it doesn’t light reinstall the HASP driver from the Install menu on the CD or form ’CADDIE \| HEPL \| DONGLE INFO’ and the HASP TOOLS tab (see above).
	Then select ’FINISH’

On the Caddie Workstations

The HASP drivers for dongles will be installed when installing Caddie on other workstations.

This next step is important

On the workstations requiring to use the Network Hasp, run Caddie and go to ’MENU | HELP | DONGLE INFO’. Choose the ’Check For Network Dongle First’ from ’DONGLE TOOLS’ tab and restart Caddie.
After following the above procedure, the Network dongle should work.

Setting the Network Address

To change the way the local workstation finds the Network dongle, go to ’MENU | DONGLE INFO’ and choose the ’Network’ tab’ Firstly try setting the network path to AUTO.

If the dongle still can’t be found ask your network manager to enter the correct IP address and other require details.

For further information regarding Network Hasps refer to the PDF file in the NETHASP folder on the CD (135-Install_LM_Under_Windows_7.pdf)
