The software protection key, also called a dongle, provides copy protection for
the software that is installed on your system. It is attached to your system's
parallel port. SOFTIMAGE|DS can start only if the software protection key
identification number matches the information in the license file that is
already installed on your computer's hard drive.
This licensing scheme is managed by the FLEXlm
installed on your system. For more information on the license software, refer
to Installing the License File on page 36 and refer to the FLEXlm online help.
