With a single user dongle, it is possible to have a moveable Quikscribe license, so that wherever the dongle is installed, it is possible to use Quikscribe. Hence if you work from an office, from home and have a laptop, you can install Quikscribe on all of these PC's and which ever PC at the time has the the dongle installed, Quikscribe will work.

To install and use a single user dongle with Quikscribe, you need to download and install a file called HDD32.exe.

With a multi-user Network Dongle it is possible to license unlimited users with a single dongle. As a result, the multi-user network dongle is the obvious choice for Network administrators as only a single dongle is required, thus reducing installation time and cost.

Download QSNetDongleInstall.exe and install. This utility is designed for system Administrators to request the number of Quikscribe licenses they require from Quikscribe and below are the instructions how to use this utility.

• Download, unzip and install this file HDD32.exe to your server. Note: This driver software allows your server to talk to the Network Dongle.
• Download, unzip and install this file LM_Setup_Win32.zip to your server. Note: This software continually runs as a small communication service on the server so that Quikscribe users can obtain licenses at runtime.

Below is the Quikscribe Network Dongle Utility. With this utility can can verify the 'Maximum Licenses possible' e.g. if it is a 5, 10, 20, 50 Network dongle etc. Note: Before this utility can read and write to the dongle, the HDD32.exe dongle driver needs to be installed.

• To request licenses, enter your company name and enter 'Total Number of Licenses Required'. In the example below, the Network Dongle is currently programmed for 1 x Recorder and 1 x Player, which we are now requesting to update to 5 x Recorders and 5 x Players.
• Select 'Generate Request' - At this stage you will be prompted to save the registration reference file that will be named as 1236424886_Registration.irf.
• Once you have saved this .irf file, e-mail this to your Quikscribe re-seller, so that this registration reference file can be modified and upgraded with the number of licenses that you require.

Once your updated .irf registration file is returned, follow the steps below to import and update your Quikscribe Network dongle.

• Select the button 'Browse for Dongle .irf' and select your returned .irf file.
• Next, select the button 'Update / Test Dongle' - At this stage the 'Number of Currently Programmed Licenses' should update from 1 x Recorder and 1 x Player to 5 x Recorders and 5 x Players.

At this stage assuming you have LM_Setup_Win32.zip installed and running as a service on your server, up to 5 x Recorder and 5 x Players can be used at the same time.

• Select the Help menu
