Hardware Key Installation on all Systems (Version 5.0)

Applicability

This note explains how to install the hardware key and driver for Space Radiation Version 5.0 on all Windows systems.

Introduction

The hardware key on Space Radiation 5.0 requires a driver for all operating system versions including Windows 95/98 which previously did not require a driver. The driver is included with Space Radiation in a file called RainbowSSD5.39.2.exe, the latest version available at this time. You may wish to check for an updated version of the driver at safenet-inc.com before proceeding.

Installation Steps

1. Remove any existing Rainbow driver from your computer. If you were running under Windows 95/98, no driver was used. If you were running under Windows NT 3.5 or 4.0, you will find drivers listed under Control Panel. (See Hardware Key Installation on Windows NT for more information.)
2. Run RainbowSSD5.39.2.exe. Make sure the hardware key is not attached to your computer. This software will identify your operating system and install the appropriate driver. If you are using Windows NT or 2k, you will need administrator privileges to install the driver.
3. Reboot your computer.
4. Install Space Radiation by running setup.exe.
5. Attach the hardware key by plugging it into your computer's parallel port. If a printer is attached, you may plug in the key between the computer and the printer cable. Multiple keys may be attached to the same computer without confusion.
