When using a Backup Version protector (e-Protector)

In the case of an e-Protector, it will take several days before the start of the first use. Also, it is not possible to check from the outside whether or not the e-Protector can be used. Please start Asprova and check the user registration information dialog.

Authentication procedure when using a Backup Version protector (e-Protector)

In the case of a Backup Version protector (e-Protector), before you use the Backup Version protector (e-Protector), you need to carry out an authentication procedure for the Backup Version protector (e-Protector) on the PC where the Backup Version protector is supposed to be used in the event that the Professional Edition protector fails.

Hinweise

• Authentication is required for each PC to be used. In the case of an e-Protector, you cannot use the Professional Version protector and Backup Version protector on the same PC. Please perform the authentication procedure on a PC different from the PC that authenticates the Professional Edition protector.
• When a USB protector is connected, the e-Protector cannot be recognized. When using an e-Protector, please use it after removing the USB protector.

When proceeding with the authentication procedure, the following files will be exchanged between you and Asprova Corporation.

Hinweis

Please stick to this sequence strictly. The files mentioned above are being transferred between the customer and the Asprova Corporation/distributor more than once in accordance with the following process:

The detailed process is outlined below. Please stick to this sequence strictly.

• If a USB protector is connected, remove it before performing the procedure.

1. Start Asprova.

If the USB protector is not plugged into the target PC, the button for updating the certificate file is being displayed. If the USB protector is plugged into the target PC, please close the Asprova and unplug the USB protector and start Asprova again. Select [Module] - [Change license acquisition method] - [Local protector] from the menu, and then select [Help] - [User Registration]. The user registration information dialog will then be displayed.

2. Read the original certificate file

The original certificate file “asprovisional.v2c” is created by Asprova and saved in Asprova’ program folder. Click the “Load e-Protector authentication file” button and load the “asprovisional.v2c” initial authentication file.

? * If the fingerprint file is deleted mistakenly, please click [No] to create the fingerprint file again.

The fingerprint file “asfingerprint.c2v” is to be sent to the Asprova Corporation/distributor. The Asprova Corporation/distributor will then create the official certificate file “aslicenseXXXX_backup.v2c” based on the fingerprint file and send it to the customer.

• At this point, it cannot be used as a Backup Version protector (e-protector).

It will take a few days to create the official certificate file. Please carry out the authentication procedure with a sufficient margin of time.

3. Let Asprova read the official certificate file created by the Asprova Corporation/distributor.

After preparing the official authentication file "aslicenseXXXX_backup.v2c" (XXXX is the serial number), carry on with the procedure.

Start Asprova APS, click the “Load e-Protector authentication file” button, and select the “aslicenseXXXX_ backup.v2c” official authentication file.

• The official certificate file created in step 2 cannot be used on any other PC. Perform the authentication procedure for each PC using the Backup Version protector (e-protector).

Please send the ascreatelogXXXX_backup.c2v file (Log file of creating e-Protector) to the Asprova Corporation/distributor, because it is essential to manage the customer license.

• At this point, you can use it as a Backup Version protector for Asprova APS. It is not necessary to wait for the authentication file to be sent from Asprova Corporation.
