Network Interface Cards (NICs) A network interface card (NIC) is the preferred locking method used in licensing to enable the products to run on a computer. Each NIC is programmed with an address that is sufficiently unique to enable its use as a hardware lock. You can use the NIC in a laptop computer as your locking method, but you should be aware that in some laptops NICs are disabled if the laptops are not attached to a network. If your laptop's NIC is disabled, you will not be able to run any products. Dongles If your locking method is a dongle, attach the dongle to the appropriate parallel or USB port of the computer before you begin the installation. Click Cancel when the Windows generated Found New Hardware dialog appears. The dongle drivers will automatically install during the License Manager Installation.
