Quick Steps

1. On the client computers, download and install the latest FARO^® Software.
2. Check the HASP driver and RUS version numbers on the server and client computers. They should match.
   • If they are the same, skip this step and continue to step 3.
   • If the server is not running the same version as the client computers, on the server uninstall the existing HASP driver and RUS, then download the matching HASP driver and FARO RUS versions and install them on the server.
3. On the server, use the RUS and create a .C2V file. Email the file to the automated license update system for your FARO software.
   Click here to find the email address.
4. You should receive an email response with and attached .V2C file.
5. Apply the .V2C file to update your the license keys on the server.

Overview

If you recently received a notice to upgrade your FARO software, have recently upgraded your FARO software and are receiving error messages that prevent you from running the software, or you recently renewed your warranty, you may need to update the software license keys on the license server. To do this, you create and email a .C2V file and send to the FARO automated license system. Once your email is received, the system sends you an email with a matching .V2C file attached. Applying this file updates the license keys stored on your license server or on the dongle attached to your license server.

.C2V and .V2C files are unique to the server you use to supply license keys to your FARO software. https://intensivevertical.weebly.com/blog/creative-destruction-pc-download-mac. You cannot interchange these files with different servers.

To create a .C2V file, use theFARO Remote Update System (RUS) tool. Before you begin, make sure you already have entered the product keys you have or, if you are using a dongle, make sure it is properly connected to your server's USB port.

Caution: The HASP license driver and RUS version numbers used on the server and on each client must match to avoid licensing errors. The latest FARO software always uses the latest HASP license driver. When FARO upgrades software, check the version of the HASP driver and RUS on the server. You may have to upgrade them.

Note: A network-enabled dongle can be attached to a network server or any computer on the network that can function as a license server. Virtual license servers may or may not have a physical USB port and depending on the server, may not be able to use a license key dongle.

Please review this table before you begin to ensure your success.

There are two ways to generate a C2V (customer-to-vendor) file.

• Using Sentinel Admin Control Center
• Using Remote Update System Utility (RUS)

Using Sentinel Admin Control Center

Generate C2v File For Hasp Keys

To create a C2V file using Sentinel Admin Control Center you need to have:

• The correct HASP driver installed on the system.

Go to http://localhost:1947/_int_/devices.html. If this site is not available then the HASP driver is probably not installed on the system.
On this page you will see the Sentinel Keys available to the system. The example below shows a USB hardlock key connected to the system.
At the end of each key record there is a C2V button. Click this button to download the C2V file.

Using DRES RUS utility

To create a C2V file using the DRES RUS utility you need to have:

• The correct HASP driver installed on the system.
• The RUS utility executable available on the system. ☞ DRES_RUS_1.0.exe

Check if the HASP driver is installed by opening Sentinel Admin Control Center at http://localhost:1947/_int_/about.html.
If you have an existing key that needs to be updated, go to the Sentinel Keys menu at http://localhost:1947/_int_/devices.html and check that the key is shown in the list of keys presented. Keys delivered by DrAmaT have a vendor ID value of 97150. If the key location is not Local it cannot be updated. In that case move the key to the current system or update the key using the remote system.
If all is OK start the RUS utility executable file and go to the Collect Status Information tab.
Click collect Information. You will get a pop-up window where you can choose the location to save the C2V file. Send to us C2V file to receive license update for your Sentinel key.
