Hardware Lock Options
Siemens PTI offers these lock choices:
A SuperPro USB lock on operating systems that support
USB ports (Please note: Windows NT does not support any
USB type devices (locks)).
A new Superpro 797 lock. The Superpro 797 lock, because
of its small size, is better suited for laptops.
Network lock (not available for all software), contact Siemens PTI for pricing.
Customers who are current on their Maintenance and Support
can exchange their current locks for one of these for $150 (plus sales tax if applicable). Payment is required in advance.
For this small amount, purchase orders will not be accepted.
A hardware lock may also be configured as a suite lock
for multiple products. Suite locks offer the convenience
of a single lock with the disadvantage being that only one
platform may run the licensed software products at a time
and, if the lock breaks, all software products licensed
on that lock will no longer function.
