Installing Your Rainbow Key
Newpoint Compass uses a security key to prevent unauthorized 
access to program functions and components. To activate your key, 
follow the simple steps below. If you do not activate the key, the 
program runs in demo mode, and only for a four hour period. 
 
 
Notes
Hardware Keys (or dongles) are assigned serial numbers that 
identify and enable the software modules you have purchased. 
This prevents unauthorized software access or duplication. 
 
You may have two keys; blue keys enable Newpoint Compass, 
and gray Rainbow keys enable Newpoint Compass Draw and the 
View Console. 
 
Both keys are 25-pin standard IBM PC serial / parallel port 
adapters with male and female connectors. Plug the female end of 
the blue Newpoint Compass key into a serial; (COM) port on the 
back of the computer. Plug the female end of the gray Rainbow 
Draw key into a parallel (LPT) port. For networked applications, 
make sure that both keys are installed on each system computer. 
Run the dongle setup procedure (below) on each computer. 
 
CAUTION: Never attach the Draw key to a RocketPort or you 
will destroy it. The blue FEP keys can be connected to a 
RocketPort, but you will need a 25-pin female-to-female gender 
changer.
