Adding or Updating Tokens Using an HTML File

Before you begin, obtain written token update information by visiting the GEOVIA support website or contacting your local GEOVIA support office.

When you add or update tokens using an HTML file, you copy the tokens from the file, and paste the tokens into Licence Manager. Updating tokens does not affect or change any previously defined classes.

Tip: Before you add or update the tokens, print a summary report of the current classes, by choosing Report > Classes.

1. Insert the dongle into a port on the computer.

   Caution: If you have a parallel dongle, and a printer is connected to the parallel port, turn on the printer. Do not connect backup tape units or other similar devices to a parallel dongle. If you must use such a device, first remove the parallel dongle. Devices such as these can damage the dongle. Any dongle damaged by such actions incurs a replacement cost.
