Network Dongle Upgrade (MF14/MS17 and above)

With our latest releases of Multiframe 14 and Maxsurf 17 we made some important changes to our network dongle codes that require you to upgrade the programming on your your network dongle.

The upgrade procedure is pretty simple, though it does require you to have installed our latest software on your server on your server to complete the process.
This doesn't impact older versions of our products or prevent them from running so don't fear on that account - your other users on the network can continue using earlier versions without an issue.

The upgrade procedure is as follows:

1) Run our latest installer on your server machine, and ensure when you do so that the following options are selected.
    * Copy Protection Device is connected to 'This Computer'
    * Copy Protection Device Type is 'Network'
    * Dongle type is 'Hasp Driver' or 'Sentinel Driver' as appropriate for your network dongle (SSN is Sentinel, all other types; NH, HL, NHHL are Hasp).

Continue through our installer and select the products you want.  Note that for a server there's no need to actually install any products - so you can untick them all if you wish.

If you get prompted during setup to install the HASP License Manager and already have this installed then you can safely press Cancel when prompted for language and skip this step.

2) When the installer has completed, locate the *.fds file that we sent you with our official upgrade notification and double click on it.  It should then prompt you if you wish to update your network dongle - say Ok and continue for it to reprogram your network dongle.

3) That's it.  You can immediately start using the new licenses and can now use the new versions from now on.  Note that this step will only need to be done once for this major version, so once you're upgraded you won't need to do it for any further updates.
