How To Update Cm2 Dongle Manager

[Randell Magtoto]

Ihave also been waiting for quite a long time for the Sound & Loop Sets to finally be licensed with SAM. Since Cubase is the host for many other software products, it is of little use to free the host from the dongle if not all embedded products also work without it. When will it finally be the turn of the Sound & Loop Sets?

Yes. I saw that reply, but that reply makes no sense. I am able to use all the expansions on this DAW in both GA standalone as well as in C 10.x as a plugin insert I just get the silly error at C10 startup for just these two expansions. The other ones generate no error. If this was across the board, I would be seeing all my expansions listed in the startup error.

To tell the update system that your dongle is licensed with the latest version, a c2v file needs to be extracted from your dongle and uploaded to our dongle management site. The c2v file contains information regarding your dongle and the licenses that your dongle currently holds. The system will use the c2v file to add the appropriate licenses and will provide you with v2c file(s) which you will then use to update your dongle using the HASP updater application.

Dongles have several benefits over software-based license keys. For example, users can easily movesoftware licenses from one machine to another by simply plugging the dongle into the other machine, thereis no loss of license when the operating system is reinstalled or reverted from an image, changes to thehardware (new motherboard etc.) do not lock the license, hard drive failures do not result in the loss oflicenses, etc.

By default, users are supplied with a single user dongle for every ordered copy of Intella. Optionally, anetwork dongle can be delivered instead. This type of dongle allows for consolidating the licenses of multipleusers on a single dongle, which then is typically installed on a physically secured, always-on machine. See thesection on network dongles below for how to configure your systems to use a network dongle.

Intella ships with a Dongle Manager application. The Dongle Manager will list all connected Vound donglesand the products they currently contain. When the PC running the Dongle Manager is connected to theInternet, it can also contact the Vound license server to check for any updates for a dongle. These updatesare then downloaded and applied automatically.

Click on Blink to see to which physical dongle an entry in the list corresponds. This will cause the LED in therepresented dongle to blink rapidly. This can be useful when you have multiple Vound dongles plugged in orare using HASP dongles from a different Vendor.

Show Products also shows a list of expiration dates. These reflect the end date after which you will not beable to receive technical product support and license updates. These end dates do not affect the ability touse the existing licenses on your dongle.

To update your dongle, click on Check for Updates. This will contact the Vound license server and downloadand apply any updates. When the process has finished, the Dongle Manager will show which products, if any,have been added to the dongle. The update procedure will only add new licenses to the dongle; it will leaveyour existing licenses untouched.

This driver is in fact known under several different names due to historic reasons. When it is installed, it istypically visible as Sentinel LDK License Manager in the Windows Services application and under that samename or as hasplms.exe in the Windows Task Manager and Windows Resource Monitor.

On a standalone PC, the driver provides a bridge between the licensed application (Intella) and the dongleholding the license. Furthermore, it handles software-based licenses such as the bundled trial license.In case of a network dongle, the drivers on the machines stretch thatbridge across the network, making the products on the network dongle available to other PCs in thenetwork.

Network dongles often work out-of-the-box, but may in some cases require a small amount of networkconfiguration. This depends mostly on the locality of the client running the Intella server and the serverholding the network dongle.

When the client and server are within the same subnet, no network setup is usually necessary. The driverson both machines will usually find each other automatically and the client will be able to use the licenses onthe network dongle.

Step 1: Make sure that port 1947 (used by the drivers) is not blocked by any firewall. The drivers use this port to communicate with each other and with the Intella application.Step 2: Ensure that the server and client machines can ping each other.Step 3: Plug the network dongle into the server. Make sure that the key is detected when viewing the Admin Control Center on :1947 on the server, like this:

For users having more than one dongle with Intella Connect licenses, starting Connect will use arbitrary dongle. In a similar way, if the dongle in use is unplugged, Connect will switch to another arbitrary dongle with Connect license.If use of specific dongle would be preferred, then Intella Connect can be instructed to prefer license from particular dongle with dongle ID.

In server environments, you can take advantage of the "UTN Service". During the UTN Manager installation, simply select the "UTN Service" extension when prompted. With UTN Service running, dongles are available via the system even before any user logs in.

I got an nRF52840 Dongle from someone else and started to see what I could do with it. The problem is, although I've downloaded everything needed including nRF Connect on Windows 10, the dongle doesn't show up in Device Manager, or in nRF Connect Programmer, Segger, or VS Code. When I plug it in, LD2 blinks blue at first and then switches to blinking red, while LD1 blinks green more slowly. Does this mean it's in bootloader mode?

I'm new to nRF devices and also J-Link somewhat, so I'm not completely sure my understanding of what to do is correct yet. Is there anything else I can do to get the USB interface working or do I need to re-flash the bootloader over SWD? If the latter, I don't currently have the male pin header for the P1 footprint on the bottom of the device, so would I be able to instead solder the SWDIO and SWDCLK to wires that connect to the proper pins on a J-Link, and use the USB interface for VCC and GND?

Finally, I saw in the bootloader documentation that nrfjprog or Segger can be used to re-program memory. So if I need to re-flash the bootloader, should I connect the device over USB and SWD as described above and use Segger or the following command to flash the .hex file? Is there anything I'm missing?

There are two tiny buttons on the Dongle. One is a white button facing away from the board. The other is a button next to the white button and is oriented 90 degrees from the white button. While keeping this latter button depressed, plug the dongle into the USB port. Once it is inserted, release the button. Now it is in boot loader mode.

As Austin944 mentioned, you can use sideways button to enter bootloader mode. Though as you have gotten it from someone else, it might be that they have already flashed something to it that has removed the MCUBoot partition. With the bootloader present however, it should be possible to flash it using the nRF Connect Programmer while it is in bootloader mode. Using VSC and SES doesn't work, as they would need an external programmer which the Dongle doesn't have. For those reasons the Dongle can be a bit hard to work with, so I recommend that you give this blog post on how to work with it a read.

It might be that you would have to re-flash it using the external debugger on another DK, with SWD. Though first of all, are you getting it to enter bootloader mode? And if so do you see it in the drop-down menu in the nRF Connect Programmer?

You can buy this adapter to connect the Dongle to a SEGGER debugger for reprogramming the Dongle through SWD (I have one), however it would be much cheaper to buy another Dongle. They are only US$10 and are readily available.

As I mentioned in my reply to Austin, I can't get the device to exhibit any other behavior even after pressing reset, and as I said in my post, the Programmer doesn't show the device. The problem with the Dongle Programming Tutorial is that the device doesn't show up on the Programmer or any nRF Connect apps, and they all say "Connect a Nordic Development Kit to your computer". Does the Programmer only work with the DK or is it supposed to work with the dongle as well? What is the usual procedure to flash the dongle over USB then? If the bootloader is gone, what are the possible methods to re-flash it, and does the procedure I described in my post work?

How do I update my dongle for Media Composer Software and Options?

In order to upgrade a USB dongle license for Media Composer Software and Symphony and NewsCutter Options you must first obtain an .avd updater file and then use the most current Application Manager utility to update the USB dongle itself.

once we connect the dongle to the machine then service startup type is changing from disable state to automatic but still service is not running, It requires machine restart to run the service which is not expected behaviour.
