In addition to free tips and advice, SafeKey International has developed a number of software packages to help companies avoid hardware lock problems altogether. Our software is designed to emulate your lock device exactly, enabling you to store the original hardware lock in a safe place and avoid such problems as theft and damage to the lock.

In order for our software to emulate your hardware lock, other software provided by SafeKey must first be used to read the contents of your lock device. Of course, this is not possible if your lock is damaged, lost or stolen before an image of the lock can be made.

Use Our Free Backup Software to Make an Image of Your Lock

To help you protect your software investment, SafeKey International has provided free software that you can use to read the contents of your lock, right now, before the lock is stolen or damaged.

Free software! How Does it Work?

It's simple! Just plug in your hardware lock and run the backup software from a DOS prompt in Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT.

The software will read the contents of your hardware lock and record the data in a special image file. This small file (typically under 1k) is easy to store in a safe place until the day you encounter a dongle emergency. Then, if ever your hardware lock fails, we can use the file to quickly get you up and running again.

How Do I Know Which Version to Use?

First, determine what kind of hardware lock device you have. Your hardware lock device should have a brand or model name either written or engraved on it. (If it doesn't, or if you're not sure which version of our backup software you need for your lock, feel free to contact us and we will try to help you identify your lock.)

Once you've determined what hardware lock you have, simply download the corresponding version of our software from the following list.
