Parallel Protection Key

Anonymous — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 17:30:39 GMT

I am haveing a problem running my parallel port protection key, yet it doesnt seem to be working on this computer. I have tried installing WIBU numerous times from the graphisoft support page as well as straight from the install disk. Its odd the key works on any other computer in the office except this one. Is there another approach i could take to fix this problem.

I haven't heard of a parallel port key used for ArchiCAD 9. You may want to upgrade to a USB key.

Are you sure that your parallel port is working?
Can you connect a printer to it to test it out?

We still have some working with Archicad 10.
Old V6.5 dongles that have been upgraded over the years.
Not quite as convenient as USB keys if you need to move them.
