PSW file (license file)

To be able to update a local dongle (standalone protection), you have to read in the required psw file with the program keyprog. The installation disc contains a folder that includes all psw files of our clients. This folder can also be found on our website www.scia.net in the free download section at the setup of the version.

These psw files have a name consisting of a four or five digit code. This code consists of the number indicated on the dongle.

With a parallel dongle, a four or six digit code can be found starting with 50. The (last) four numbers determine the name of the psw file. (xxxx.psw)

With a usb dongle, a six digit code can be found starting with 55. Only the (last) five numbers determine the name of the psw file. (5xxxx.psw)
