FAQ: Why is my license key not recognized or it says that it has expired?

[Sam]

Experiment Builder can be licensed in one of three ways:

• A physical USB Hasp key.
  
• A network-based license key.
  
• A one-time product key.
  

If you do not currently own a license and would like to purchase one you can contact sales@sr-research.com

If Experiment Builder launches in Demo Mode, please follow the relevant troubleshooting steps below.

1. Install Drivers
   Install the HASP Driver: Run the "Install HASP Driver" application that was included with your software.
   • Windows: Start Menu > All Programs > SR Research > Install HASP Driver
     
   • macOS: /Applications/[Software Name]/Install HASP Driver.app
     
   
   
2. Activate Your License Type
   Follow the instructions below that match your specific license key.
   • USB License Key
     • No additional steps are needed as long as the HASP driver from Step 1 is installed.
       
     • Plug the key into a USB port. The LED on the back of the key should glow solid red.
       
     Note: The software can be installed on many computers, but the USB key must be plugged into the computer running the software.
