Dongle Licenses (for Linux Machines)
Under x86 32-bit and 64-bit x86 Linux, licenses are available that are locked to a dongle rather than to the host ID or Ethernet address of the computer. A license file is still required: this will contain the four digit dongle number in place of the computer's host ID or Ethernet address.
The dongle is used to provide a unique four-digit dongle number to which the license file is locked. The license is only valid when run on the machine to which the dongle is currently attached. All license details, including the Xpress features authorized, whether the license is static or floating, the release of Xpress authorized, and so forth, are contained in the license file.
Displaying the Dongle Number
The dongle number can be obtained by running the Xpress Host ID tool (see the section Obtaining a Full License File). Note that the dongle must be connected to your computer and the dongle device driver installed and running (as described below).
Installing the HASP Dongle Device Driver
The dongle driver is not automatically installed when installing Xpress on a Linux machine. In order for your dongle to be recognized, you must download the Linux dongle drivers from the FICO Xpress client download page. You must login with your root account, extract all the files from the aksusbd-1.16.1-i386.tar.gz archive within the Sentinel_LDK_Linux_Run-time-Installer_script.tar archive and run the dinst script which will install the HASP dongle driver daemon. After this, the Xpress software should recognize the dongle you plug in. (Try running the xphostid tool to check this. If it reports a hostid starting with 'di' then it can see your dongle and the driver is correctly installed.)
