Authorization System

The Pyramix software and its various software options are protected by an authorization key mechanism which
uses a unique registration key number generated by Merging Technologies. Based on purchased software compo-
nents, this key is unique to your Sentinel or HASP USB dongle serial number or Mykerinos board serial number,
your Company Name and your User name. Once you have registered your software you will be provided with this
Key or Keys (depending on the options chosen).
When you receive your Pyramix Package you should also receive either an email from your Merging technologies
Sales Partner or a printed copy of the email containing your security setting details. If you did not receive this key,
have lost it or would like to change the user and/or company name, please contact your Merging Sales Partner
with your Mykerinos serial #, your User Name, your Company Name and the list of purchased software compo-
nents. Usually, a key can be issued within one business day, after the verification of your personal data has been
completed.

Enabling Pyramix Virtual Studio with your Software Key

Pyramix Virtual Studio is protected by a special software Key. Once you have registered your software you will be
provided with this Key or Keys (depending on the chosen options).
Entering your Key(s)
After the Pyramix installation process you will be prompted to enter your Authorization Key. If you click Yes the
MT Security Settings dialog will be launched automatically, allowing the Key or Keys to be entered immediately.
If you choose not to enter your Key at this point you can do so later by choosing one of the following procedures:
1. Double-click the file YourPersonalKeyXXXXX.mtk. This is attached to the email containing your Key(s).
2. Open the MT Security Settings Control Panel
(Windows Task Bar Start > Control Panel > MT Security Settings),
click the Import Key button and browse for your Key file called
YourPersonalKeyXXXXX.mtk
3. Open the MT Security Settings Control Panel (as above), in the Registration section select the board num-
ber corresponding to the serial number for your Keys or HASP Key for a dongle, click the Enter Key button
and type your User Name, Company Name and Key then click OK. Repeat this step for each Keys listed in the
email.

Changing or re-entering a Key

Should you need to subsequently change or re-enter a Key, follow the appropriate option above.
The key system is "smart". Only one key or set of keys is required regardless of the number of boards in a system.
Any card can hold this key set as the authorization is processed based on a "Logical OR" of all keys present on any
and all Mykerinos boards. Of course this Logical OR will only process keys with identical User Name and Company
Name to the one entered in the key enabling window.
