SOFTWARE KEY
A software security key is required when using the remote FCC/
SCC II software or the ECC/WCC II Enhanced Color Graphics.
The “key” is not a mechanical key which opens a lock but rather a
“software key” which has a computer program in it. The software
that requires a key will periodically look for the key. If the key is
not there, the program will not run.
The “software key” plugs into a “key-ring.” The key-ring is then
installed in the printer port (LPT1) of the computer. If a printer is
used, the printer then plugs into the other end of the key-ring.
To install the key, follow these directions:
Remove “power” to the personal computer and printer.
Remove the printer cable from the personal computer.
Insert the “key” in the “key-ring.”
Plug the “key-ring” into the printer port on the
computer.
Connect the printer cable to the “key-ring.”
Reconnect power to the printer and computer.
Notes: (1) The printer does not have to be present for the
key to operate. (2) The parallel port (printer port) must be
100% IBM compatible. (3) If your computer has more than
one parallel port, the key must be connected to parallel port #1
(LPT1).
