Configurable GE USB Key Installation

If a Configurable GE USB hardware key is included with your GE software product, you must install your licenses from the hardware key in order to access all the components of the software you purchased.

Typically, you install your licenses from the hardware key as you install the software. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you usually run the electronic licensing update file for your key before installing the newer version of your product.

If you insert the key after you install your software, it should be detected automatically when the application is started for the first time. It is recommended that you shut down your computer before plugging in a new key.

Note: Do not remove the key while your product is running. If you do so, the product features shut down and you must restart the software. You may also damage the key if you remove it while the product is running.

GE only supports hardware keys plugged directly into a computer. At this time, GE does not support hardware keys connected through an external USB hub.

On new installations, you must install the Licensing Software before you plug in the hardware key for the first time on your machine.
