HyperChem Licensing: Standalone, Hardware-locked Version

Standalone, Hardware-locked Version

The Standalone version of HyperChem comes in two varieties, the software lock and the hardware lock. The purchase of a standalone hardware locked version includes a dongle (hardware lock) which must be attached to the parallel port of your computer prior to installing and running HyperChem. When installing, choose the Standalone option (rather than network) and the Hardware Lock option (rather than software lock). With the lock in place, HyperChem runs immediately upon installation.

The hardware-locked version of HyperChem allows the user to install the software on multiple computers, and move the lock to the computer on which the user wishes to run the software. As HyperChem will only run on the one computer on which the lock is attached, this is in accordance with the license agreement. A user can, therefore, use HyperChem at the lab or the office, pocket the dongle and take it home to continue work on a home computer.

This method of licensing does not require Hypercube be contacted to generate a license code. Also, the license is not sensitive to changes in computer hardware or system configuration.

The disadvantage to the hardware-locked version of HyperChem is that the hardware lock can be lost or stolen. The lock in effect is the license to HyperChem. If there is any reason to be concerned for security of the lock, a software lock version would be a better choice.

Hypercube will provide a replacement lock for a damaged lock if the lock is returned, for a replacement fee of $100.00. Also, if stolen, we will also provide a replacement lock for the replacement fee if a copy of the police report of the theft is provided.
