1 Important notes

1.1 Tdv2000 applications require a basic installation

The basic part of Tdv2000 applications has been separated from the application (e.g.
RM2006). The new Tdv2000 basic installation (BaseWin) contains the common files
for all Tdv2000 program systems and the hardlock driver for the hardlock security
system. Therefore you must first install the package “BaseWin” and afterwards any
application.

Updates of the basic installations will support also older program applications!
It’s not recommended to uninstall the old basic installation, before updating with the
new one.

New application installations will not disable the old program releases. They can be
used together with the new ones. But the file extensions in the operating system are set
to last installed program release.

1.2 Tdv2000 hardlock protection

ATTENTION:
Always install the latest local hardlock drivers( especially for Windows XP Service
Pack2). Newer TDV applications( after 2005) also require a local hardlock driver,
when accessing the server hardlock.

The local hardlock drivers are shipped with the basic installation (BaseWin).

2 Licence Installation

In order to run Tdv2000 applications a user must have a valid Tdv licence file (*.lic).
The Tdv licence file is directly connected to a specific hardlock (dongle).

In general the licence will be installed automatically with your program installation or
update. If any licence is located on the installation source, you will find a button for
installing the licence.

The licence is valid until such time as the user rights are upgraded or the validity of a
time limited version has expired.

New Tdv2000 users must get a licence file from Tdv or the support office in order to

run the latest Tdv2000 program versions.

The licence will either be supplied:

desired licence file.

The licence manager will open automatically.

licence files in one task.

If there exists an active older program installation ( Tdvshell with and any older
application like RMGEOP, M3, …) , then the licence files will be activated also in the
displayed “Additional destination directory”. Press <OK> to finish the update.

Alternatively the licence manager can be started over the Windows start menu:
