In any case, we expect an e-mail from a customer confirming the receipt of the hardware key and a successfull installation of Hydrus.

In other cases, we send the HASP, which requires a one-time activation performed by a customer (see Option B below). In some cases (e.g., if it is possible to insure the shipment for the relevant amount), we send a completely programmed HASP, which is ready to be used, it only needs to be plugged into a USB port (see Option A below). PC-Progress sends the hardware key to customers via a priority mail, with a possibility of tracking the shipment on the internet. Hardware keys are very effective copy protection devices, because they cannot be duplicated by the user. Upon startup, the application looks for the key and will run only if the key contains the appropriate code.

A Hardware Key (HASP), also called a "dongle", is a software copy protection device that plugs into the USB port of the computer.
