Novastar Dongle de Calibration | Clé d'Autorisation Logicielle

NovaStar Dongle de calibration — without it, the calibration software will not start

The NovaStar dongle is a USB key holding the authorisation file for the calibration software. Without the dongle inserted and its matching authorisation file, CalCube and CC3 will not run. It is not an optional accessory: it is the operating licence of the calibration system.

Specifications

Type: USB key holding the software authorisation file
Pairing: strictly one to one — one dongle matches one authorisation file, and both are required
Setup: the authorisation file is supplied on the kit USB key and must be imported into the software
Software concerned: CalCube, CalCube MiniLED, CC3 and the NovaCLB modules requiring authorisation
Not to be confused with: VICP and VIMP platform authorisation uses a separate authorisation card with a serial number and a scratch-off password

NovaStar Dongle de calibration — technical analysis

It is a part that gets forgotten at order time and blocks a job. A calibration system delivered without its dongle is unusable, and the software simply reports that no dongle is detected. Pairing is strict: one dongle matches one authorisation file, the two go together and are not interchangeable.

The operational point to remember: losing the dongle means losing access to the software. On a calibration team that travels, this key moves with the camera, the case and the tripod — and it is the only item in the kit that cannot be replaced off the shelf. We recommend listing it as a spare from the first order, in the same way as a cable or a lens.

• Replacing a lost dongle — the calibration team stays operational.
• Additional calibration workstation — a second licence on a second PC.
• Travelling teams — a spare to carry in the case.
• Commissioning a C3200 or CC60 system — an essential part of the kit.
• Safety stock — lead time cannot be compressed if one is lost.

• Mandatory — without the dongle inserted, the calibration software will not start.
• Strict pairing — one dongle for one authorisation file: both are required and not interchangeable.
• Spare part — order a second one with the first kit for a travelling team.
• Supplied with the C3200 — the full kit includes one; this reference is for replacement or an additional workstation.
• Not to be confused — VICP and VIMP authorisation uses an authorisation card, not this dongle.
