Installing with Dongle Licensing

Installation of Dongle Licensing

If you purchased Jim with a dongle license, it will be necessary to install Jim on every computer that you want Jim to run on. In addition, you will need to install the dongle driver software for your dongle to work. Our dongles are supplied by SafeNet, Inc, and can be used on systems running Microsoft Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X (64-bit Intel-based). Dongle licensing is not available for Solaris.

Running Jim

If you ordered a dongle license for Jim, you will receive a dongle in the regular mail, and also a license key file by e-mail. You must install Jim on every computer on which you want to run Jim, and you must also copy the license key file license.txt into the Jim install folder of every computer, as you did when you received a trial license. Please see the installation instructions for further details (MS Windows or Linux).
