Windows HASP Installation

Changed:

This document is of interest to customers installing APPX on a Windows PC or in a Windows PC network environment, who wish to register their license to a hasp rather than a CPU serial number. (Customers using the APPX Client for Windows, but running APPX on a UNIX server, do not need this document because the licensing is handled by the UNIX server.)

(If you are installing a HASP on a Unix system, see this document.)

Important Note: If you are installing a HASP on Appx 5 or greater, you must set the Windows Environment Variable APPX_USE_HASP to some non blank value. See Appendix E in the Appx System Administration manual.

HASP Installation:

  1. Verify that you have the right HASP hardware.

    The proper HASP for the Windows version of APPX is a white or red, approximately square piece of hardware with two connectors, labeled "NetHASP" or "MemoHASP". A gray one labeled "OpenHASP" is for the UNIX-based version of APPX, and should not be used.

  2. Make sure that the serial number printed on the HASP label matches the serial number on your registration document.

    These should match. If they do not, call APPX Software for a replacement serial number. If APPX is run with mismatching serial numbers, it will fail the license check and generate an error message.

  1. Download NetHASP device driver software.

    Use ftp or a browser to download the hasp installation file. This file should have a size of 619643. Unzip from it the file "hinstall.exe". HINSTALL.EXE should have a size of 1,027,072, and be dated April 6, 1999. If you have an earlier version of hinstall.zip, your sizes will be smaller and your dates will probably be back in 1997. If you plan to use APPX on an NT system runnnig Service Pack 3 or higher, you must upgrade to this newer hinstall.zip file. If you continue to use the old one after installing one of the more recent service packs, you may render your system unbootable!

    --- or ---

    Find the above hinstall.exe program on a floppy disk accompanying your hasp.

  2. Install NetHASP device driver software.

    These instructions are for license server PCs running Windows NT and Windows 95 only. If you are installing the device driver on a Windows NT machine, you must be logged in with Administrator privileges.

    From a DOS Command window or the Start Menu's "Run" command, execute the command:

     c:\...\hinstall.exe /I

    (Substituting the full path name to the hinstall.exe file, for "c:\...\

    The installation program will then tell you that the driver will be activated after your next reboot.

    (Note that invoking HINSTALL with the "/I" option installs the HASP driver but not the NetHASP server. You want to install only the HASP driver. You do not want to install the NetHASP server.)

  3. Reboot the machine.

    To ensure that the device driver starts up properly when the machine is rebooted, test it now by rebooting and verifying that no error messages are produced. If you are running Windows NT on that machine, you should also check the Event Log to verify proper startup of the HASP device driver.

    Run APPX and get to its registration screen. If the "CPU Serial No" in the box in the upper right hand matches the serial number on your HASP, it has been properly installed, and all is well.

    If the CPU Serial number begins with a "0-", the Registration program is looking at the Serial number of your C: drive, not the HASP. It's likely the HASP driver is not properly accessing the HASP installed on your parallel port.
