Activating a Dongle Free License (DFL)
A Dongle-Free License (DLF) is a software lock that has many advantages over physical USB dongles. A DFL license cannot be lost or damaged and transferring a DFL license between machines requires only an internet connection. They are an excellent choice for most survey companies so long as the SonarWiz computer has periodic access to the internet to refresh and transfer the license.
Internet Access Requirements
Dongle Free Licenses (DFL) require internet access to activate and deactivate. DFLs are designed to go offline for short duration surveys, but they do require periodic access to the internet to refresh their license or they will time out.
To activate a dongle free license (DFL):
Run the CTI License Manager utility program from the Windows Start Menu
Click the Activate button.
Click to Accept the privacy notice
Enter the License ID and License Key code provided to you by CTI Sales Office when you purchased the license.
Click OK.
If activation is successful, you will see a message in the Manager window saying “License activation successful…”
Click OK to close the CTI License Manager.
Launch SonarWiz.
ERROR: Server response code 60
If you receive Error code 60, this means that the license is already in use on another machine. The error message will indicate the name of the machine on which the licenses is in use. You MUST deactivate the license on the other machine before you can transfer the license to another machine.
