License Options & Software Installation

SubC License Options

We have two licensing methods available for SubC Applications, Dongle and Virtual.

Option 1 - License on USB Dongle - Portable

If you wish to have the portability to run the SubC Software applications on various systems, we can provide you with the Software installation file on a USB thumb drive and the Software CodeMeter License on a USB dongle.

Plug the flash drive that contains the SubC Software installation file into a USB port on the system you wish to install.
Open a Windows File Explorer and navigate to the flash drive.
You can copy the SubC Software Installation file to a folder on your system and run the installation from that location if you so choose.
Run the SubC Software installer and follow the prompts through the installation process.
Plug the CodeMeter License Dongle into a USB port on the system before launching the SubC Software application.

The SubC Software applications will not run unless the CodeMeter License dongle is plugged into the system. If you wish to run SubC Software application on multiple systems simultaneously, you will require a CodeMeter License Dongle for each system.

Option 2 - Virtual License - Dedicated

If you wish to use SubC Software application on a dedicated system, we can provide you with a link to download the SubC Software installation bundle and we provide you with a Virtual CodeMeter License Update file to import onto the SubC application host system.

Your SubC Account Manager will contact SubC Support Team support@subimaging.com to make a request to generate your SubC Software Virtual License Request file & License Update file.
This process is described here: SubC License Request & Update.

The blue download button indicates there is a newer version of SubC software application available. Click this button to download the latest version and install at your earliest convenience.

The blue checkmark indicates that the most current version of the SubC software application is installed.

SubC Software Installation

If you are using a SubC Software Dongle License (portable to multiple systems), plug the License Dongle into the computer USB port. The License Dongle must be plugged into the SubC software host system for the SubC Software application to launch.

If you are using a SubC Software Virtual License (not portable, dedicated to the system), the virtual license can be imported onto the system after the initial SubC Software installation.
