The HASP (Hardware Against Software Piracy) dongle enables the functionality of Echoview for licensed purchasers, according to which modules are licensed.

If you have purchased Echoview you will be supplied with a USB dongle and a USB installation drive.

You will need to install the HASP HL device (dongle) driver to use the dongle(s). You can do this as part of installing Echoview or after you have installed Echoview.

For instructions on installing the HASP HL device driver after you have installed Echoview, please contact support@echoview.com

Without a HASP dongle, Echoview will operate in demonstration mode. An Evaluation license is available to explore Echoview licensed features. For further information please contact: info@echoview.com.

Notes:

HASP dongles require the installation of a device driver. Echoview versions earlier than 3.45 require the HASP 4 device driver. Echoview versions 3.50 and onwards require the HASP Sentinel device driver version 5.19 or higher.
If the HASP driver fails to install for any reason, please consult the Gemalto a Thales company website for any possible driver updates. New PC architectures and Microsoft Windows updates are appearing regularly and are known on occasion to prevent low level drivers such as these from operating.
