1 What’s the Dongle Dongle is a device used to protect applications and data against
unauthorized usage and replication. If the dongle has correct
parameters, the application continues running. In case the dongle’s
parameters are incorrect (a wrong dongle) or if it is not attached at all,
the protected application ceases its functioning.
Nowadays we use
Guardant Stealth, Guardant
Sign dongles and the dongles
in the micro form factor
attached to the computer’s
USB port. At present we don’t
use the dongles connected to the parallel port of the computer.
See the Guardant site http://www.guardant.com for details on the
dongle principles and operation.
Guardant dongle is a hardware device. Hence, it is not
guaranteed against faults. Follow the instructions below to avoid
many problems.
Note. The dongles support USB2.0 only.
2 Installing the Dongle for a USB Port
1. Guardant USB dongles can be used in operating systems that support USB standard.
2. Guardant USB dongles may be attached and removed when the computer is powered on or off.
3. Install the application software following the developers' instructions.
4. Install Guardant USB driver supplied with the application.
5. Reboot the system if necessary.
6. Attach Guardant USB dongle to an available USB port. If the dongle is attached before the driver has
been installed, cancel installation of the driver suggested by the operating system, remove the dongle and
install Guardant driver.
7. Make sure that the application is functioning properly.
3 Installation of Guardant USB driver 1. Run the executable file GrdDrivers.exe of
«Guardant setup utility» to install the
Guardant USB driver. This file is in the
X:\DongleDrivers folder, where X is the name
of your CD-ROM. Use the installation files
from the Drivers(x86) or Drivers(x64)
directories, depending on your system, for
central installation of Guardant drivers in
Windows networks using group policies.
2. Attach Guardant USB dongle to an
available USB port.
3. The «Driver installation»of Windows starts
after the drivers have been installed and the
dongle is attached to a USB-port for the first
time. This is the standard procedure when the
Guardant driver is installing for Windows
(Figure 3.А).
4. The LED of the dongle switches on when
the required operations has been performed
(Figure 3.B). This means that the driver has been installed successfully, and the operational system has
identified the dongle.
This is the final step of the Guardant driver installation.

3. B) Master has finished the Guardant USB
dongle initialization
3. А) Master performs the required installation
steps
Note: A set of drivers for various operating systems should be supplied by developers together with the
application software. New driver versions can be downloaded from the http://www.guardant.com, in the
Download section
4 Dongle Operating and Storage Instructions
1. Protect the dongle from physical damage (fall, toss, vibration, etc.), exposure to high and low
temperatures, aggressive environments, high voltage; all these may cause damage to the dongle.
2. Do not press too hard when connecting the dongle to the computer, and a peripheral device to the
dongle.
3. Do not expose the dongle (especially its connectors) to dust, dirt, damp, etc. In case dirt gets into the
dongle connectors arrange for their cleaning. Use a dry cloth to clean the case and connectors. Never
use organic solvents.
4. Do not disassemble the dongle. This may cause damage of the dongle’s case, printed wiring elements,
and consequently lead to unstable functioning or failure of the hardware.
5. In case of failure or improper functioning of the dongle, contact the application software developer.
5 GSREMOTE Utility. Remote Programming of the Dongle Memory
GSREMOTE utility is designed for the end users of the software protected by Guardant dongles. It
allows you to change the contents of the memory of dongles, including correction of the application’s
license term upon authorization from the protected software owner.
This utility is required when terms of use of a protected program are changed (for example, when the
program rental period is prolonged, a new program version is released, additional features are activated,
etc.). It is obvious that GSREMOTE should be supplied together with the application.
GSREMOTE supports two types of remote programming: it can be used to update the memory
contents of the dongle (either in full or in part) and correct the license term of the protected application.
The utility has a wizard-like interface and comprises several windows. You can move to a new
window by clicking on the [Next>] button after the current dialogue has been completed and return to the
previous window by clicking on the [<Back] button.
5.1 Changing the Contents of the Dongle Memory
The user starts GSREMOTE and selects “Whole or partial update of dongle’s memory
contents”option. The utility generates a number-question which is then passed by the user to the
developer (supplier) of the protected program.
After that, the user may terminate the program by clicking on the [Finish] button, in case an answer
is not anticipated in the nearest future.
If user has terminated the program he should start it anew and repeat operations above, then select
“Process number-answer received from software vendor” option (set by default) in the next window.
If user has not terminated the program, he can select “Process number-answer…” option.
By selecting a corresponding option, the user specifies whether the entire memory is to be updated
or only its block. In the first case the path to the update file is to be specified in the dialogue box, in the
second case it should be additionally specified whether the answer has been received in the form of a
hexadecimal number or a file. If it is a number, it is to be typed in the input field, and if it is a file, a path is
to be specified.
After that, you can move to the last window where the utility reports on the result of the update
procedure.
6 Searching Dongles on Your Computer
To make it easier for you to operate with several Guardant dongles and for preliminary testing their
functionality various special dongle search utilities have been developed.
CHKNSK.EXE DOS utility,

3
CHKNSKW.EXE Win16 utility,
CHKNSK32.EXE Win32 utility.
These utilities check all parallel and USB ports of the computer to identify the attached. Then the
utility displays Public codes and IDs, as well as the values of general purpose fields and other information
on any detected dongle.
These utilities can be used as a preliminary test of the dongles functionality. By trying out these
utilities, you will be able to test an application protected through limitation of the number of executions.
