Sounds like a problem with the Dongle. You do have the security dongle plugged into a port right? If not you need to plug it into the serial port or usb port depending on what type, BEFORE you open SignLab. If you didn't get one when you bought the program you got hosed.

+1 on the dongle. If you have the dongle and it doesn't work, try reloading the software and plug the dongle in when asked during the install procedure. Good luck and welcome from Cape of Cod and :signs101:

Just having a dongle with signlab is not enough you also need the license files.


Not for Version 5, not sure when the did the files, but I have a 5 and a 6e running and didn't need the files. On the v 9 I did though.
