2.2Software Registration

2.2.1 Demo version

After the installation steps above, the program will create shortcut of “DFOC” and
“DRDongle”. Run DRDongle.exe and you’ll get a dog number:

Figure 2.12 Get dog number


Send software dog number to us, and we’ll provide a SN number for demo version. Once
received the SN number, input it into the textbox and click “Register” button to finish the
registration. Usually, the SN number is valid for only three months.
[Warning]The SN number will be change with the update of the hardware of user’s PC. In
this situation, user needs to apply for a new SN number.

2.2.2 Official version

The official version will provide a USB key for the registration. After the installation of the
software, user should plugin the USB key, and run “DRDongle.exe”. If the driver is successfully
installed, and the USB key is recognized by the OS, then user will get a list of soft dog number
and hard dog number.
