When I try to start Verify-QC, I receive a warning message about the dongle. What can I do?

Users may be presented with one of two possible warning messages when starting Verify QC:

  1. Dongle not found:

    Dongle not found

    A dongle must be connected to either a USB port or a parallel port on the computer before the program will run. Check that the dongle is present and securely connected.

  2. Dongle Expired:

    Dongle Expired

    Dongles are enabled for a specified numbers of days. The days count down whenever the system is in use. Repeated warnings are issued as the dongle approaches its expiry date.

    The user can extend the period of validity by obtaining an upgrade code from the VERIPOS Helpdesk. If the warnings are ignored and the dongle completely expires, the program will shut down and with older versions of Verify-QC this will result in no longer being able to launch the program.

For Verify-QC Versions 1.12 and above

When launching Verify-QC with an expired dongle you will be greeted by the expired dongle screen displayed above. The detailed procedure is as follows:

  1. Click OK on the expired dongle page and the Upgrade Dongle window will open, containing a 32-character Status Code. The Status Code is required by the HelpDesk in order to generate an upgrade code. Either copy the code from the screen, save it to a file, or copy it directly into an email. A separate code is required for each dongle.

    If you receive a .dsf upgrade file from the “Upgrade Dongle” window select Load and browse to the location where the file is stored.
