PROcapture: Do not remove the security key during the middle of a session


Record #109

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  ViewLogic

Problem Title:
PROcapture:  Do not remove the security key during the middle of a
session



Problem Description:

Because PROcapture checks for proper security each time a file is saved
or a component is added, the security key must not be removed from the
parallel port.

Should the key be removed, attempting to save the file will result in the
following message:

     WORKVIEW:	SECURITY:  No valid license found for product:	PRO Series

The message will be displayed on the message line, right above the
PROcapture command line.

Also, trying to add a component without the security key attached will result
in the same message and an empty box will be placed on the schematic in
place of the desired component.


Solution 1:


Once the security key has been removed, nothing can be done to return
PROcapture to its initial state.  Replacing the key will allow you to save
the schematic or symbol, but you will no longer be able to add any
components.

Replace the security key and save the schematic.  Once you have saved
all your files, exit PROcapture and restart.
