Software installation: Security Key

Purpose

Some Clarinet Software Package (Clarinet ETS and Clarinet DEV-TTCN) requires the installation and authorization of the Clarinet security key.
One program Acacia Software Authorization provided by Acacia allows :

  • the edition of the security key configuration
  • the update of authorization information by entering password in the security key.

Installation

Access to the Software Authorization is provided by the Wractive.exe program. It is installed in the \clarinet\clatools directory by the Clarinet Run-time software installation procedure.

The program can be launched:

  • directly from a Windows file manager by double-click
  • by a shortcut created by the customer.

Specifying Passwords

Each Acacia security key has a unique serial number (the 'Client number') printed on the label sticked on it.

security_logo.tif (465 octets)

Client Number:

security_num.tif (60578 octets)

One string of characters called the 'Application password' provided by Acacia Customer Service has to be entered by the final customer.
Because each Acacia security key has a unique serial number, no two authorization passwords are the same. Upon receipt of the Acacia security key, the customer must contact Acacia Customer Service to request the passwords (by filling in and faxing back to ACACIA the Product Registration form which includes a Request for Passwords area).

Determining the Security Key's Current Authorization

The execution of the protected Clarinet-programs (ETS, TTCN) needs to verify the Current Authorization in the Security Key connected to the parallel port.
By selecting the Show Authorization button, the customer can read :

  • the serial number of the security key.
  • the currently authorized products.

A security key is delivered with the first protected package. The Current Authorization is entered in this security key.

Updating procedure

  • The security key has to be connected alone to the parallel port.
  • The password have been received from Acacia.
  • The program WRACTIVE.EXE is launched.
  • The customer enters the value indicated on the registration sheet provided by Acacia:
    • Password
  • The customer applies by selecting the command "Apply"
  • The customer verifies the registration by selecting the command "Show Authorization"
