License Types and Internet Connectivity Requirements
SonarWiz is commercial software and requires a license key to unlock the software for use. CTI supports 4 license key types:
USB - A physical USB key inserted into the machine running SonarWiz. No internet required.
Dongle Free License (DFL) - A transferable, soft-lock license. Some internet connectivity is required to refresh and transfer licenses.
Network License - A network license server that can serve SonarWiz licenses over a local domain.
Evaluation License - A special license used to Evaluate SonarWiz prior to purchase.
The four license types have different platform support, internet requirements and some license types cannot be used for field work (data collection). Please refer to the following table for details:
USB | Dongle Free (DFL) | Network | Evaluation | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Run on Virtual Machine Support? | YES1 | NO1 | YES1 | YES1 |
AWS / Azure Support | NO | YES | YES | YES |
Internet Required | NO | YES2 | NO | YES |
Machine Transferable | YES | YES | NO | NO |
Offline Use (secure facilities) | YES | YES | YES | NO |
Field Licenses | YES | YES | NO | NO |
Office Licenses | YES | YES | YES | YES |

Please see statement below for VM Environments
DFLs only require internet to refresh and transfer licenses. Otherwise, you can disconnect.
No Support for VM Environments
SonarWiz hard dongles can run on Parallels Desktop for Mac since the Gemalto-Sentinel dongle driver provides an installation option for it. However, Chesapeake does not test on or support the use of SonarWiz on Apple Macs. SonarWiz DFLs are not tested on and Chesapeake Technology cannot explicitly endorse the use on any of the following virtualization solutions (list intended to be suggestive, not exhaustive):
