You will be informed about this fact in advance by our customer support and then you can follow point B. However, under certain circumstances, you can receive HASP which requires a one-time activation. Then it is necessary to install HYDRUS according to point A below. When purchasing a new HYDRUS license with HASP, the customer usually receives a fully functional HASP by post. The use of HASP eliminates these problems. The network installation using a software key (activation) is somewhat more complicated and some network administrators have complained about its lack of flexibility. Easier and safer installation of a network version.The program (e.g., HYDRUS) can be used on multiple computers (e.g., desktop and laptop) only by transferring a small USB key.The hardware key (dongle) gives users assurance that the program can be easily installed and used, for example, on a new computer. Under certain circumstances, the activation code may not be immediately available and users have to wait till they get it (e.g., activation by e-mail). Activation of the program brings some disadvantages, such as that the program can be activated only on the allowed number of computers and the activation is always time-limited (up to 1 year) and needs to be repeatedly renewed. No activation of the software (e.g., HYDRUS) is needed.Proven solutions by SafeNet, verified by hundreds of thousands of installations and users.In any case, we expect an e-mail from a customer confirming the receipt of the hardware key and a successfull installation of Hydrus. In other cases, we send the HASP, which requires a one-time activation performed by a customer (see Option B below).


In some cases (e.g., if it is possible to insure the shipment for the relevant amount), we send a completely programmed HASP, which is ready to be used, it only needs to be plugged into a USB port (see Option A below). PC-Progress sends the hardware key to customers via a priority mail, with a possibility of tracking the shipment on the internet. Hardware keys are very effective copy protection devices, because they cannot be duplicated by the user. Upon startup, the application looks for the key and will run only if the key contains the appropriate code. A Hardware Key (HASP), also called a "dongle", is a software copy protection device that plugs into the USB port of the computer.
