Cochenille Design Studio

Software Keys
Cochenille is moving to software keys in lieu of hardware keys. All current versions of Garment Designer utilize software keys. Once you order the software you will receive a digital download link, a serial number, a License ID and a password. You will use the License ID and password to activate the software.

Hasp Hardware Keys
For those who have our Sentinel Hasp version of the software, you may continue to use this mode. Our future upgrades will work with both.

 

 

 

 

About HASP Keys

Windows Users:
Do NOT update to Hasp’s latest driver. Sentinel has removed items that Garment Designer needs. Please use the version 8.15 driver. You may download that here.

The USB HASP key must be plugged into the computer during software use, this protects our software from being shared illegally. If you do not have the HASP key, then you will be unable to access the software. The HASP Key, sometimes referred to as a dongle, allows your computer to recognize and open our software programs, please have it plugged in prior to opening the program. If you have a limited amount of USB ports, some users use a multi-port adaptor in order to plug in additional USB devices.

You do not need to eject the device via your computer, but you can instead pull it out of your computer without any harm coming to the licensing on the dongle.

If you plan on using the key on multiple computers or traveling, you will want to attach a small keychain to make it easier to locate and differentiate it from other USB thumb drives you may own.

To access your HASP Key information, such as your key ID, you can do so by going to the following link: http://localhost:1947/_int_/devices.html

This link will take you to the admin page with information about your key once the driver is successfully installed. If the link displays an error page, then the installation failed.
