Sentinel Drivers for our USB Option Key
Installing the USB Options Key & Driver
Note: The purpose of the Sentinel Drivers is for the USB dongle you’ll have obtained for your offline. The drivers are a set of instructions for the computer on how to interpret the functionality of the dongle. The dongle itself serves as a key, enabling your offline to perform most if not all the functions that it’s capable of. Without this, your offline will simply work as a demo and you’ll be unable to save files and perform other functions. This dongle contains the options you’ve purchased, such as the DXF option.
***Do not plug in the USB dongle beforehand. Failure to comply may mean having to go through the driver removal process, only to have to reinstall everything again. ***
