Better known as the "dongle", the Rainbow SuperPro Security Device is used to copy-protect FEMAP, and is effectively your portable license to use the FEMAP software. If you are installing FEMAP on Windows NT, the Security Device requires that a driver also be installed. You must have Administrator privileges to install this driver. This driver is only required when running on Windows NT. During installation you will be asked if you want to install the driver, if you are logged in with Administrator privileges, do so. If not, you will have to log into NT with Administrator privileges, and then install the driver manually, to do so, using Windows Explorer, move to the CD, and then to the /Rainbow/Win_nt subdirectory on the CD -
In the Win_nt subdirectory, you will see the following files -
If you are running on an Intel based computer, double-click Setupx86.exe, or if you are installing the driver on an Alpha based machine, double-click Setupaxp.exe. This will launch the Rainbow Driver Installation Program. Using this program could not be easier, pick Functions from the menu, and under Functions, choose, Install Sentinel Driver. Answer any of the Dialog Boxes using the defaults provided. When you are finished, the driver will be installed and operational. There is no need to re-boot your computer as required with previous versions of FEMAP.
