Advanced Copy Protection
A "dongle" is a hardware based license management device. They are required for PhoneSweep, Sandtrap, and
NetIntercept.
The image below shows a USB dongle (left) and a parallel port dongle (right).
More Information
Dongles are a form of copy protection; they are small (less than 2x2 inches) hardware devices that are required to run many
Sandstorm products. To use the dongle, plug it into the appropriate port on the back of the computer.
The dongle number is used to identify the system to our sales and support personnel whenever you contact Sandstorm. The
number is written on a label on the physical device.
Test your PhoneSweep and Sandtrap Dongle
You can download Sandstorm's dongle troubleshooting application.
The ZIP file contains the necessary programs and drivers, and a README.txt file with instructions to run dongle_diag.exe.
If that doesn't work, give our Technical Support staff a call.
