===General Information about the Remote Updater===
It is a common need for software vendors to upgrade their software at the end-user side. UniKey provides a remote update solution so that the end-user does not need to send the UniKey dongle back to the software vendor. By using UniKey Remote Updater, all updating can be done by simply clicking the mouse. All the data is encrypted and protected by a 128-bit key.  UniKey Remote Updater provides a flexible updating scheme. By implementing updating criteria, software vendors can update a single UniKey dongle, a batch of UniKey dongles, or specific UniKeys with the correct SID. Software vendors can also set a pass phrase to the UniKey Updater files (*.upt), so that only end-users with the correct password can use the file to update a UniKey dongle.


• New SID: Allows a software vendor to set a new software ID for the UniKey
===How to Update a UniKey Dongle Remotely===
There are 2 steps to update a UniKey dongle remotely:
# The Software vendor generates a UniKey Updater file with the UniKey Generator.
# The end-user receives this .upt file and uses the UniKey Updater tool to apply new settings to the UniKey.

General Information about the Remote Updater

It is a common need for software vendors to upgrade their software at the end-user side. UniKey provides a remote update solution so that the end-user does not need to send the UniKey dongle back to the software vendor. By using UniKey Remote Updater, all updating can be done by simply clicking the mouse. All the data is encrypted and protected by a 128-bit key. UniKey Remote Updater provides a flexible updating scheme. By implementing updating criteria, software vendors can update a single UniKey dongle, a batch of UniKey dongles, or specific UniKeys with the correct SID. Software vendors can also set a pass phrase to the UniKey Updater files (*.upt), so that only end-users with the correct password can use the file to update a UniKey dongle.

How to Update a UniKey Dongle Remotely

There are 2 steps to update a UniKey dongle remotely:

  1. The Software vendor generates a UniKey Updater file with the UniKey Generator.
  2. The end-user receives this .upt file and uses the UniKey Updater tool to apply new settings to the UniKey.

Click "Edit" to change your settings, and click "Delete" to remove.

Time Settings (Only for UniKey Time)

UniKey Generator time settings tab

Time Settings can only be used by the UniKey Time, indicating the exact start, end, or duration of each corresponding Module No. (0-15), this is designed to enable software renting or leasing. By setting parameters in this section, software vendors can set up a software module number and its corresponding start time (YY-MM-DD:HH), end time (YY-MM-DD:HH) or duration time (DD:HH). Click "Add" to add another time module, select an item then click "Edit" to change your settings, or click "Delete" to remove the selected setting. When you click on "Add", an Add Time Modules window will pop up.
