		Photon Design License Key Driver
                ********************************

If you have a key (dongle) controlled license then you need to install the driver
for the key. This is very simple - just execute the setup.exe file. The driver
will install almost instantly (in our experience).


INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
======================

>>>Before installing the driver ensure that your key is *NOT* plugged into your computer.<<<

1. If you are running NT or Win2000 or WinXP, log in as administrator.

2. Run the keydriver\setup.exe from the installation disk, if you have not already done so via the program installation routine. Note that the key must not be plugged in during this process.

3. If Setup detects an older version of the Sentinel System Driver, you will be prompted to confirm the upgrade.  The older version is uninstalled immediately after you confirm the upgrade.  If you cancel out of the installation after this, you will not have your older version installed.

4. Select either "complete" or a "custom" installation.  Complete will install both the parallel and USB driver and also the "Sentinel Protection Server". You do not need the "Sentinel Protection Server" so you may wish to do a Custom Install where you can deselect this option.

5. If you select custom, you can choose whether to install parallel, USB, or both.  Keep in mind that if your operating system does not support USB, the installer will not install it even if you select it.

6. Continue on the installation, select "Install." and follow through the installation process.

7. Once the installation is complete, insert the USB key now if you have one.

8. If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, you will have to reboot if you upgraded from a previous version.  This is necessary to start the parallel driver.  WindowsNT, Win2000 and WinXP do not require a reboot (but see below).


MODIFICATION / REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
===================================

1.   Go to the Control Panel from the "Start" menu.

2.   Select "Add/Remove Programs."

3.   Look for the item that says "Sentinel Protection Installer" and select it.

4.   The installer will allow you to modify, repair, or remove the
installation, select which option you would like and follow along.

5.   If you select modify, you can add in or remove the parallel or USB driver
later.

6.   If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, you will be asked to reboot.  This
is necessary to start/stop the parallel driver.  Windows NT and 2000 do not
require a reboot.

******************************  IMPORTANT NOTE *******************************
When you run the setup.exe program to install the driver, it will
automatically update your version of the Windows Installer if necessary.  It
will not provide any prompts before doing this.  If you are not sure you want
to update the Windows Installer, do not run this program.

INTRODUCTION
============

The Sentinel System Drivers provide a communication path between your
protected application and the Sentinel key.  The driver allows multiple
programs to all access the Sentinel key on a multi-tasking operating system.

This version of the driver contains a new installation method using the new
Windows Installer.  This allows you to install the driver any Windows
9x/NT/2000 system just like a regular application.  This readme file describes
the installation procedure for the Sentinel System Driver.

If you are installing the driver for DOS, Windows 3.x, OS/2, or any non-Intel
Windows NT machine, you must use the old installer.  The old installer is
located in the "Legacy" directory of the driver media.  Also, the old
installer has been kept to allow developers that are not yet ready to migrate
to the Windows Installer to keep their old installation methods.  There are
some limitations to doing this, however.  The old installer does not support
installing only the USB driver; you must use this installer to do that.

This document offers basic installation instructions, for more information
refer to the complete documentation:  PD539-Doc.html.

CHANGES SINCE LAST GENERAL RELEASE (PD-5.38)
============================================

1.   The USB SuperPro driver can be installed alone.  Before this version, you
always had to have the parallel driver installed to use the USB driver.  In
order for you application to take advantage of this new feature, it will have
to be rebuilt using the latest libraries.

2.   You can prevent the virtual device driver (VDD) from being installed on
Windows NT or 2000.  The VDD is only necessary for older DOS and Win16
applications.

3.   The 5.39 driver supports the new SuperPro Net hardware key.  The SuperPro
Net cannot be seen on any driver version before 5.39.

4.   The driver uses the new Windows Installer (version 1.1) released with
Windows 2000.  This installer supports all Windows operating systems back to
Windows 95.  The Microsoft Windows Installer is part of the initiative to
reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for customers by enabling them to
efficiently install and configure products and applications.  For more
information visit Microsoft's MSDN web site.

5.   As a part of the Microsoft Windows Installer, the 5.39 driver contains
"merge modules" that can be incorporated directly into your own installer
providing seamless integration.  See the documentation on using these merge
modules in the "MergeModules" directory.


INSTALLATION OPTIONS
====================

The Sentinel System Driver Installer offers a many different command line
options to control the installation.  This allows developers to install the
driver on their end user's systems without prompts.  For more information on
these options refer to the complete documentation.
