5. License dongle
① Insert the supplied USB dongle in an available USB port of
your PC. Windows will automatically install a driver,
recognize it as a common USB flash drive and assign a drive
letter such as "D:", "E:" etc.
WARNING: Our USB dongles are guaranteed without virus infection, nevertheless some virus detection
software may incorrectly detect some of its files as a virus (or Trojan). This is called a false-positive alarm
and does not mean that files are indeed infected. Whenever your virus detection software informs you
about a possible threat, it usually gives you a choice of options about what to do next. Be sure to flag
those files as SAFE files, otherwise the dongle's files might be rendered unusable or even deleted by the
virus detection software, and the AR-IQ III software will not run.
It is your responsibility to make sure that your virus detection software does not accidentally render the
USB license dongle and I/Q software unusable. The license information data inside the USB dongle is
unique and cannot be copied or backed-up. If you damage the USB license dongle, a new one needs to
be purchased.
② Inside the USB dongle, locate the software's executable "ariq3.exe" and double click it to start the
software. The software runs directly from the USB dongle.
③ When you start the software for the first time, Windows will ask you to which COM PORT the receiver is
connected. Providing the correct number is entered, it will be saved in the registry, therefore you should
not need to enter it again. Nevertheless, after connecting the receiver to a different USB port on your PC,
the COM port number will change. If the com port number you entered is incorrect, the following error
message will appear:
The COM PORT number is the one Windows automatically assigned in DEVICE MANAGER.
Note:
● The license information data inside the USB dongle is unique and cannot be backed-up, copied or
moved. If you lose or damage the USB dongle, a new USB dongle needs to be purchased.
● Do not record I/Q data to this dongle and do not use the dongle to store any data.
● Formatting the USB dongle, overwriting or deleting its content will destroy the licensing system, and
another USB dongle would have to be purchased.
