8500 TO 8600 UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
grading (8500FM or 8500HD). If there is a mismatch, the upgrade software
will emit an error message and refuse to complete the upgrade. It will not
cause the HASP key to expire.
Model 8500HD was called “8500” in some earlier software versions; 8500FM
was always called “8500FM.”
A) Make sure that the appropriate network cable is connected to your Optimod and
that the Optimod is powered up.
B) If your 8500 is now connected to 8500 PC Remote software, close 8500 PC Re-
mote.
Any open connection to your 8500 will prevent the upgrade software from
connecting to the 8500. This will cause the upgrade software to emit an error
message but will not cause your HASP key to expire.
C) Insert the Hasp 8600 Upgrade key that came with kit into any available USB port
on your computer. The Windows “Found New Hardware” dialog box should open
automatically. If you are connected to the Internet, you may accept the default (let
Windows search the Internet for the driver).
If Windows cannot find the driver automatically, use the driver that is included on
the CD provided with this kit. When you insert the CD in your computer’s drive, the
CD’s Autorun routine will start up and will offer to install the driver. Follow the in-
structions on the screen.
If your computer is set up to prevent Autorun from starting automatically when a
disk is inserted into your optical drive, use a file manager like Windows Explorer to
navigate to the CD’s
Sentinel_HASP_Run-time_setup
folder. Then double-
click
HASPUserSetup.
exe.
Wait until Windows indicates that your new hardware is installed and ready for
use.
D) If you successfully installed version 3.0.1 software or above (step 3 on page 4),
this proved that the Ethernet connection between your Optimod and your com-
puter can reliably support the upgrade process and you may skip to step (E) be-
low.
If you did not need to install version 3.0.1, before you proceed further it is wise to
verify that your network can reliably support the upgrade process. This will prevent
the single install available on the Hasp 8600 Upgrade key from being wasted and
will save you the trouble of contacting Orban customer support to get a replace-
ment key if this occurs.
A good sanity check is to ping your Optimod multiple times from your computer us-
ing a packet size of 4000 bytes:
a) Click on the Windows
Start
button and choose
Run
.
b) Type
cmd
in the box and press your computer’s Enter key. A command window
will open.
c) Type
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –l 4000 –t
