EIVA Support

EIVA uses currently a hardware protection key from Wibu-key to configure which part of the software can be used.

A dongle can either be LPT (rather rare these days) or USB, and will be equipped with a EIVA system number (Asset number (A/N) marked on dongle or key hanger) and a serial number burned into the firmware of the key.

A series of A/N will be seen

Dongles can be marked time limited, especially used for subscription licenses (1 year at the time) and out of service (if SMS hasn't been signed). In those cases a previous valid dongle will stop working. 

Dongle flag

A dongle is equipped with 10 flag, which can be seen via Control Panel, Wibu key:

The flags may only be changed by EIVA, and are protected against changes.
Parameter 1 includes a bit pattern, which signals if a program may be executed or not.
1=>NaviPac
2=>NaviEdit
4=> Contour & Patch test (No longer dongle protected)
8=>NaviModel – supports also NaviPlot, NaviChart & Imaging
16=>NaviScan
32 => NaviModel – supports also NaviPlot, NaviChart & Imaging
64 =>Oceanographic SW – WinArop, ScanFish Flight etc.
128 => QuickStich
256 =>Imaging (Also covered by 32) (No longer supported)
512 =>Special TMS add-on - upgrades full NaviPac to barge.
1024 => Flag for Online 3D Monitor (No longer dongle protected)
2048=>NaviCat

If the value for example is 17, then it will work with NaviPac and NaviScan.
Rental and demonstration/course dongles will be equipped with the flag 255 -> ASO (all suite on)
Parameter 10 must include the last part of the serial number – and is used as a control code. If set to 16282011 then it's a dedicated office dongle which can't be used for field jobs.
The remaining 8 parameters are used differently in the various programs.

NaviEdit

1. NaviEdit Type 1Lite – parameter 3-9 unusedorFull – See parameter 3, 4-9 unused

NaviScan

10If set to 16282111 then it indicates a special Laurel OEM dongle. It will be reduced to only interfacing MBE/SS from R2Sonic and L3 

NaviModel and NaviPlot

Networked Dongles

It is possible to use NaviEdit and NaviModel in a server license

A network dongle may look like this 

Field 1-3 and 10 is like any other dongle.

Field 5 and 7 is always 99

Field 6 is number of users minus 1 

Software codes - backdoor

If an accident happens and a dongle gets corrupt, the port is down or the dongle are loss for some reason, then the EIVA SW offers a SW key (a backdoor), which offers a temporary solution. Please refer to a special guide on this.
