RT Software Licence Key Update

Introduction

The tOG software is protected from unauthorised use by a USB security device or “dongle”. The dongle controls which tOG capabilities can be used and it may also enforce a time-limited right-to-use (RTU). If you require additional capability or additional time-allowance RTU then you will need to get the dongle updated. Dongle updates are done via files. The user generates a “request” file (extension .req) and sends it to RT Software. RT Software will use the request file to generate a new license file (extension .nlf) and then send it to the user. The user can then use the new license file to update their dongle.

Instructions

The dongle can be updated from any machine that has tOG installed. Insert the dongle to be updated in the chosen machine and make sure that no other dongle is
attached and that tOG is NOT running. Please continue using the appropriate section below:
