GLD Network Dongle (Hardware Key) Instructions

This page contains the information needed to activate and install the network version of GLDTM using the network license dongle. This information is directed towards IT Managers/Network Administrators.

Note 1: Only the commercial version of GLD is available for the network environment. 

Note 2: Accessing a client machine (with GLD installed) via a remote desktop session MAY NOT
            WORK.  The HASP License Manager and DRM features of Windows will prevent this type of
            access. This is NOT an issue with GLD.  Network administrators might try a third party
            program like VNC for configuration of remote clients.

Please choose your version of GLD:

GLD 2016 Network Dongle Instructions

GLD 2016 Network Dongle instructions are similar to earlier versions except that the dongle type is intellegent and is different in appearance.  Network License keys are Red.  Also, the new Network Dongle is aware of the network time and date and it is necessary that both the workstation and server are observing the network time.  See examples of key images

Overview: For multi-license users, GLDTM uses a hardware network USB dongle that enables a number of workstations that are all connected to the same LAN/WAN to run up to the purchased number of licenses simultaneously. Instead of requiring one dongle per computer, a single network dongle is installed on any PC in the network. The computer that holds the license key is referred to as the server. This can be either a traditional server or a standard PC attached to the network. Please follow these steps to get GLDTM up and running on your network:

Please Note: The network and standalone versions of GLD2016 will NOT coexist on the same network.  Due to the way that the HASP key system operates, having a standalone version detected on the network will prevent the network license from being issued correctly.  This is a limitation of the licensing system and not a problem with GLD. 

GLD 2012 / 2014 Network Dongle Instructions

GLD 2012 Network Dongle instructions are essentially unchanged compared to GLD2014 and are repeated here with the relevant download links for the 2012 version.

Overview: For multi-license users, GLDTM uses a hardware network USB dongle that enables a number of workstations that are all connected to the same LAN/WAN to run up to the purchased number of licenses simultaneously. Instead of requiring one dongle per computer, a single network dongle is installed on any PC in the network. The computer that holds the license key is referred to as the server. This can be either a traditional server or a standard PC attached to the network. Please follow these steps to get GLDTM up and running on your network:

Note:  Previous standalone or beta versions of GLD2014  must  be uninstalled prior to installing the GLD2014 Network version.  This applies to all workstations that will be used to run the network version client. 

Please Note: The network and standalone versions of GLD2014 will NOT coexist on the same network.  Due to the way that the HASP key system operates, having a standalone version detected on the network will prevent the network license from being issued correctly.  This is a limitation of the licensing system and not a problem with GLD. 

GLD 2009 / 2010 Network Dongle Instructions

Overview: The last several versions of GLD have many similarities in terms of the licensing configuration.  For multi-license users, GLDTM uses a hardware network USB dongle that enables a number of workstations that are all connected to the same LAN/WAN to run up to the purchased number of licenses simultaneously. Instead of requiring one dongle per computer, a single network dongle is installed on any PC in the network. The computer that holds the license key is referred to as the server. This can be either a traditional server or a standard PC attached to the network. Please follow these steps to get GLDTM up and running on your network:

Note:  Previous standalone or beta versions of GLD2010 MUST be uninstalled prior to installing the GLD2010 Network version.  This applies to all workstations that will be used to run the network version client.
