How to Backup up hardware key

-
If you have a industrial software which uses hardware key to authenticate the license, then it is very difficult to run the software without the key dongle plugged in. Their is a chance that the key might be stolen as it looks just like pen drive. If the key dongle is stolen, then the software will not run and you have to buy another license key dongle if  you are not under service contract.

In this article I'll describe you with the method by which you can backup your hardware dongle to enable you to run the software without the key dongle plugged in.

Note: All the steps has to be done while the dongle is plugged in and the application is running.

Step 1. Download Sentinel key reader Dumper.exe. This is used to dump the key file in the dongle which is otherwise impossible to read.

Note: This can only be used with Sentinel SuperPro/UltraPro keys. The best way to find whether your key is Sentinel is that when you run the application dumper.exe, it will not show the message as "Safenet dongle drivers are not installed".

Step 2. Open dumper.exe. Click on Dump as shown in figure. It will save a dump file in .bin format.




Step 3. Now Download Bin2Dng. It will converts .bin file generated in previous step to .dng format.



Step 4.  Open Bin2Dng.exe. Goto Sentinel tab and do as instructed in the figure.






Step 5. After properly doing all above steps .dng file is generated. Now download SentinelEmulator. This will emulate the .dng file as if the dongle is Plugged in the USB drive.

Step 6.  Do as instructed in the figures.





Step 7. After all the steps has been done, remove the dongle and restart the application that uses the dongle to verify itself. You will see, it did not required the dongle and still running.

 You can keep the dongle safe somewhere or use it to run the application in another PC.

    Well explained step process, if you want to know how to backup hardwire key. Acquire knowledge as much as you can. Follow Clone Dongle Usb Key for more information.

    At the moment, there is already software that can provide remote access to the Dongles and clone them. Donglify can work with multiple access support.

What do you mean by CryoVolcano?

-
Image
A cryovolcano (colloquially known as an ice volcano ) erupts slurries of volatile compounds such as water or methane instead of lava. These substances are usually liquids and form plumes, but can also be in vapour form. After eruption, cryomagma condenses to a solid form when exposed to the very low surrounding temperature. Cryovolcanoes form on icy moons, and possibly on other low-temperature astronomical objects (e.g., Kuiper belt objects). The energy required to melt ices and produce cryovolcanoes usually comes from tidal friction. It has also been suggested that translucent deposits of frozen materials could create a sub-surface greenhouse effect that would accumulate the required heat. Ice volcanoes were first observed on Neptune's moon Triton during the Voyager 2 flyby in 1989. On November 27, 2005 Cassini photographed geysers on the south pole of Enceladus. Indirect evidence of cryovolcanic activity was later observed on several other icy moons of our Solar Sys...

What is atomic clock?

 Have you wondered how time works?  What do you mean by 1 sec?  How the duration of 1 sec is decided? All these questions will be answered when you understand the atomic clock. World time is based upon a reference and that reference is the atomic clock.  What is atomic clock An atomic clock is a clock device that uses an electronic transition frequency in the microwave, optical, or ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum of atoms as a frequency standard for its timekeeping element. i.e. locking an electronic oscillator to the frequency of an atomic transition. The transition is generally between hyperfine level which is a small shifts and splittings in the energy levels of atoms resulted from interaction between the magnetic moments associated with electron spin and the electrons' orbital angular momentum. Elements used for atomic clock 1. Cesium-133 2. Rubidium-87 Cesium atomic clock It employ a beam of cesium atoms. The clock sepa...
