The hardlock device remains as an item in your plug-and-play

Install Your Hardlock

Before you can install the software, you must install the hardlock drivers and then
connect your hardlock to the appropriate port, parallel or USB, on your personal
computer. Make sure you install the drivers before you connect the hardlock.

To install the hardlock:

1. Insert the RSLogix Guard PLUS! CD-ROM into the CD drive.

If Autoplay is enabled, the software installation starts automatically. If this is
not the case, you can start the installation by clicking on d:\setup.exe
(where d is your CD drive).

2. From the setup screen, click on the Install Hardlock button and follow the

installation prompts.

3. Connect your hardlock to the proper port, USB or parallel.

TIP

You can connect a printer to the hardlock on the parallel port, but make
sure that the printer is switched on or the hardlock may not be detected.

IMPORTANT

TIP

Protect your hardlock. It is your only means to enable the
software.

The USB hardlock features an LED that will illuminate
if the hardlock was installed properly.

You can disconnect the hardlock any time you are not using
RSLogix Guard PLUS! software.
