The Hardware Fingerprint

The 'hardware fingerprint' is an eight character hexadecimal code HDS1504 uses to uniquely identify a computer on which HDS1504 is installed.
This prevents the software from being run on more than one machine, so you will now need additional keys for additional computers.
You will be required to provide the unique 'hardware fingerprint' for licensing and registration.
The fingerprint is displayed on the terminal window when you run the software and in the registration dialog.

Some hardware upgrades may change your hardware fingerprint and under these circumstances you will need a replacement key. 

How to find 'hardware fingerprint?'

Start the software and click on the button labeled 'Enter Key'


This will display the following dialog:

The Hardware Fingerprint can be found in the center of the Enter Key dialog window just above the text boxes (underlined above).

New version of HDS1504 allows you to copy the 'hardware fingerprint' to the Clipboard by clicking on a button labeled 'Copy'.
You can simply paste the 'hardware fingerprint' into the appropriate field at the HDS1504 license and registration site.
Pasting the hardware fingerprint into the appropriate field (vs. typing it in directly) helps minimize the chances of providing an incorrect hardware fingerprint.

What's a 'registration key?'
