: Online activation may require an active internet connection to verify the string with Applied Maths servers.
Evaluation timelines or maintenance agreement windows.
The software cannot communicate with the USB hardware or the NetConnect server. Solution:
Ensure you are connected to the VPN/Internet for the initial handshake.

Applied Maths utilizes two primary licensing mechanisms. Both require a license string for initial configuration. 1. Hardware Dongle (HASP)
Since the acquisition of Applied Maths by bioMérieux, licensing has become more integrated with broader clinical diagnostic ecosystems. If your lab is transitioning to the platforms, your BioNumerics license string may be tied to your bioMérieux account credentials.
Traditional licenses use a physical USB security key (dongle). The license string is programmed directly onto this hardware. The software will only run on the computer where the USB dongle is physically inserted, or via a local network setup for network dongles. 2. Internet-Based NetConnect Licenses
If upgrading an existing license, navigate to the main menu and select or run the standalone BioNumerics License Manager utility from your Windows Start Menu. Step 3: Enter the License String
