Overview
The HASP driver is the central component of FARO® software licensing and is automatically installed when you install FARO software. Always make sure you use the latest version of the HASP driver. It is backwards compatible, so you need not be concerned about using the latest version with older FARO software. Using the latest version helps to avoid licensing issues.
HASP License Driver Install/Update - Preferred Method
The FARO® Licensing Manager provides an single interface to manage all of your FARO software licenses from one convenient application. Activate a new license, manage and update licenses, view active maintenance plans/expiration dates, and update and repair the HASP driver.
The Licensing Manager can be installed via FARO InTouch. FARO InTouch is a software distribution and management application which streamlines the downloading, installation, updating and execution of FARO software. To install the latest version of the Licensing Manger and FARO InTouch, follow the steps below.
If you already have InTouch installed:
