EVICES

Before you can manage licenses with LicenseManager, you must install the proper security device software and/or drivers. This section explains installing and using the

Wibu CodeMeter Runtime software and USB CmStick, as well as the Keylok USB dongle drivers and dongle device.

NSTALLING THE

ECURITY

EVICE

As discussed previously, AccessData products require a licensing security device that communicates with the program to verify the existence of a current license. The device can be the older Keylok dongle, or the newer Wibu CmStick. Both are USB devices, and both require specific software to be installed prior to connecting the devices and running your AccessData products. You will need:

• The Wibu CodeMeter Runtime software with a Wibu CodeMeter (CmStick)

Appendix B Licensing Information 61

• The Wibu CodeMeter Runtime software, and the AccessData Dongle Drivers with a

Keylok dongle

Note: The Codemeter Runtime software and either a silver Wibu CmStick or a green

Keylok dongle are required to run PRTK or DNA.

Without them, you can run PRTK or

DNA in Demo mode only.

The CmStick or dongle should be stored in a secure location when not in use.

You can install PRTK and the CodeMeter software from the shipping CD or from downloadable files available on the AccessData website at www.accessdata.com

. Click

Support > Downloads, and browse to the product to download. Click the download link and save the file locally prior to running the installation files.

While LicenseManager requires an Internet connection to use some features, you can add or remove licenses from a dongle packet file for a dongle that resides on a computer, such as a forensic lab computer, that does not have an Internet connection.

If you cannot connect to the Internet, the easiest way to move licenses from one dongle to another is to physically move the dongle to a computer with an Internet connection, add or remove product licenses as necessary using LicenseManager, and then physically move the dongle back to the original computer. However, if you cannot move the dongle—due to organization policies or a need for forensic soundness—then transfer the packet files and update files remotely.

F.A.Q.

S

Q: How do I get a Virtual CodeMeter (VCM)?

A: Contact your AccessData product sales representative. They will provide you with a

VCM confirmation code.

Q: How do VCMs work?

A: A VCM operates in almost exactly the same way as a hardware CodeMeter device, except that they exist as a file stored on the hard disk. During activation, the VCM file

(named with a WBB extension) is tied to the hardware of the system using unique hardware identifiers. Those unique identifiers make VCMs non-portable. When

AccessData License Manager is launched, it will automatically load the VCM and display its license information. From there, you can refresh, remove, add existing licenses, etc just the same you would with a hardware security device.

Q: Are VCMs supported on virtual machines (VM)?

A: No. Due to the fact that virtual machines are portable and VCMs are not, VCMs are not supported on virtual machines. Currently it is recommended to use AccessData

Network License Service (NLS) to license systems running as virtual machines. CLICK

HERE for more information.

Q: Does the AccessData Network License Service (NLS) support VCMs?

A: The current release of NLS does not support using VCM as a network dongle.

AccessData is considering this support for a future release.

Q: How can I "unplug" a VCM?

A: If you want to prevent License Manager from automatically loading the VCM you can

"unplug" it by stopping the CodeMeter Runtime Service server and then moving (cut and paste) the WBB file to a new location (renaming the file does not suffice). By default the WBB file is located at:

32 bit systems:

C:\Program Files\CodeMeter\CmAct\

Appendix B Licensing Information 93

64 bit systems:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeMeter\CmAct\

Q: I have activated a VCM on my system, but now I need to activate it on a different system. What should I do?

A: Since a VCM is uniquely tied to the system on which it is activated, it cannot be moved to any other system. If you need to activate a VCM on a different system, you need to contact your sales rep.

Q: What if I need to reinstall Windows, format my drive, change my system's hardware, or back up my VCM in case of a disaster? Will the VCM still work?

A: The VCM can be backed up by simply copying the WBB file to a safe location. It can be restored by copying the WBB file to the CmAct folder. The VCM cannot be restored without a WBB file. If you do not have a back up of your WBB file, you will need to get a new confirmation code from your sales rep.

Q: My AccessData product does not seem to recognize the license stored on a VCM.

What am I doing wrong?

A: VCMs are supported by the following versions of AccessData products:

FTK 1.81.6 and newer

FTK 3.1.0 and newer

PRTK 6.5.0 and newer

DNA 3.5.0 and newer

RV 1.6.0 and newer eDiscovery 3.1.2 and newer

AD Lab 3.1.2 and newer

AD Enterprise 3.1.0 and newer

MPE+ 4.0.0.1 and newer

Ensure that the version of the product you are running support VCMs. If the version you are running is listed as supported, verify that according to License Manager, the release date of the version you are running falls before the expiration date of the license.

• AccessData License Manager 2.2.6 or newer should be installed in order to manage licenses on the network dongle.

• Network dongles can hold up to 120 physical licenses. Each License has a capacity to hold thousands of sub licenses (i.e. Client count or worker count).

• Contact AccessData Technical Support to have your CodeMeter device flagged as a

"network dongle" (required for NLS).

• Make sure CodeMeter device is flagged as "network dongle" (i.e. License Manager will show the serial as "1181234N". To have this flag set on your CodeMeter device, please contact AccessData Technical Support).

• Server system must be configured to not block incoming and outgoing traffic on TCP port 6921.

• A web interface to view and revoke licenses all licenses is accessible at http:// localhost:5555 (this page can only reached from a web browser running locally on the

NLS server system).

• A "network dongle" cannot be used to run AccessData products locally unless the

NLS server is running locally.

• Some versions of windows may not find a local NLS server when the DNS hostname of the server is provided. In those cases, it is recommended to use a static IP address.

• When using the NLS across domains, users must have permissions to access resources on both domains (either by dual-domain membership or cross-domain trust).

• When running NLS on Windows Server 2008, Terminal Services must be installed and accepting connections. If Terminal Services is not configured it will not open the port and share out the licenses correctly.

• The name of the service according to Windows is "AccessData Network License

Service."

• When launched, any NLS client application that needs to lease a license from the NLS server will automatically check for the following values within the Windows Registry.

• NetDonglePath: The IP address or DNS hostname of the system hosting the

Network License Server service which is found in the following registry key on the client system:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AccessData\Products\Common

• NetDonglePort: The TCP port number through which the client and server systems have been configured to use. This value is located in the same key as

NetDonglePath.

• uniqueId: In order to lease a license from the server, the client system must first posses a unique identification value. This value is automatically generated by applications such as FTK 3, PRTK, or DNA. (Registry Viewer and FTK 1.x cannot be used setup initial client NLS configuration at this time.)

You can find the each client system's uniqueId by inspecting the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AccessData\Shared

• Client system must be configured to not block incoming and outgoing traffic on TCP port 6921.

• The following products support the ability to lease a license from a NLS server:

• FTK 2.2.1 and newer
