~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   General
   ~~~~~~~
    1. Dongle is a device used to protect applications and data against unauthorized usage and replication.

    2. The dongle is attached to the computer's USB port.

   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.

    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 us.

    Note: 

    For stable functioning of the dongle it is required to use Dongle driver. 
A set of drivers for various operating systems should be supplied together with the VideoCAD.
