2 Installing the software from a download

With the release of 5.2C, the downloadable installation has been changed The most

noticeable change is that the download for Surpac Vision has been split into two separate downloads

The Prerequisites download installs an upgraded sentinel driver and other common files required to run Surpac It is essential that you download and install the prerequisites kit once for each major version change (v5.2, v5.3, v6.0 for example), but not for each maintenance release (5.2c, 5.2d etc)

You will also need to download the required package for the product you wish to install This change has been made to reduce the size of each download, and since you only require the Prerequisites kit on infrequent occasions, should make downloading and installing new versions of the software much easier

You may also notice that the downloads are now Windows-standard Microsoft Installer installations, which can be deployed easier by systems administrators to remote sites

Note: Please read the release notes and readme file before you download to ensure you are

aware of the extensive new functionality and known issues It is suggested that the software

be installed in the default path and that any existing installation be maintained to ensure that the transition is smooth Major upgrades to plotting and graphics components have been made that may affect some users

• V5.2 Prerequisites

Surpac Licencing

Overview

The following concepts will be presented in this chapter:

1 Local vs Network Licencing

2 Setting up a Local Licence

3 Setting up a Network Licence

Requirements

Prior to performing the exercises in this chapter, you should have:

• Installed Surpac Vision

• Your Surpac Licence details at hand

1 Local vs Network Licencing

To access all the functionality of Surpac Vision, a user needs to have a valid licence The licence of Surpac Vision is controlled by a hardware sentinel that is issued upon purchase of the software This licence can be either “Local” or “Network”

A Local licence means that a Surpac Sentinel must be plugged into the back of the PC that is running the software These Sentinels, sometimes known as a “dongle” or “hardware lock”, can be attached to available USB or Parallel ports A Local licence will require both the Sentinel and a valid “token” number for the software to work correctly

A Network licence is one that is setup on a “server” computer This “server” computer will administer valid licences to other computers on the same network that request a licence

A Network licence also requires the Sentinel to be attached to the server computer as well as valid token numbers

If the software doesn’t detect the presence of either a valid Local or Network licence, a user can choose a third licence type called “None” This will allow the user to start the software, but limits the functionality to viewing and displaying different file types

2 Setting up a Local Licence

The description which follows assumes that you are installing a single user “stand-alone” licence for a newly-installed version of the software In order to proceed, you will need the following:

• Surpac Vision v5.2 installed, as previously described in the Installation section

• USB or Parallel Sentinel from Surpac Minex Group

• A valid token number

If you do not have all of these, please contact your local support office

Insert the sentinel into the appropriate USB or Parallel port

Start the software, as previously described in the Installation section

Next, you should see the form below Select local, then click Apply

Note: If you do not see the form, and the software starts, one of several conditions may be

occurring:

• A network licence has been detected

• The icon you have chosen to start up the software may have been directed to use the licence type of “none” or a network licence

• The sentinel driver has not been installed

• A local licence has previously been installed

If you see the following error message:

Click OK
