Stand-alone PMOD Installation with USB Key Protection

Install USB Key Drivers

All the files required for the driver installation have been extracted during the installation of the PMOD software and stored in the PMOD directory tree. The following two steps must be performed to install the USB protection key hardware drivers.

1. Driver installation: The purpose of this step is to install programs for reading the information from the WIBU-Box/RU plugged into the USB port. The driver installers are located in the directory Pmod3.1/hksetup/Windows.
   Please start the program WkRt-Int.exe if your system is 32-Bit, otherwise WkRt-x64.exe, and perform a standard installation procedure. Then reboot the system.
2. Now the USB key can be connected to any of the free ports. After the first connection (per port) Windows XP will show the hardware installation wizard shown below
   
   Please perform the proposed automatic installation.

Note: If you experience problems during driver installation, you are recommended to download the most recent drivers for the WIBU-KEY (Runtime Kit) from http://wibu.com/download_user.php and try the installation again.

Copy License File

In the delivery note that you have received with the PMOD CD you find account information for logging into the support area of www.pmod.com. There you will find a license report, and a button for downloading the license file for your purchased configuration. Please download pstarter.lcs and copy it to the directory Pmod3.1/properties/system/lcs.

Important Note: Please do not change pstarter.lcs in any way - a modified license file will not be accepted. Do not open pstarter.lcs in any program, do not rename it, and if you transfer it per FTP, use binary transfer.

Start PMOD

PMOD can now be started with command script RunPmod.bat in Pmod3.1/Start. Example:

C:
cd "C:\Pmod3.1"
.\java\jre\bin\java -version
.\java\jre\bin\java -Xmx1200M -jar pmod.jar
pause

Notes: 

The script has been tailored to the installation directory. Therefore, if the Pmod3.1 directory is moved to a different location, the path needs to be adjusted.

The -Xmx1200M option specifies the maximum heap memory (1200 MB) that PMOD can allocate. To process large data sets this number should be increased. However, please note that currently there is an operating-system dependent limitation on 32-Bit operating systems: only a maximum of 1500M can be allocated, even if the physical RAM size is larger. Increasing -Xmx beyond 1500M will result in an error Could not reserve enough space for object heap. Caution: The P3D tool may crash, when the reserved space approaches the physical RAM size.

Create a PMOD Starter Shortcut on your Windows desktop:

1. Start a Windows explorer and drag the file Pmod3.1/Start/RunPmod.bat to the Desktop while pressing CTRL+SHIFT simultaneously.
2. Then rename the shortcut to PMOD.
3. Change its icon by pressing the right mouse button on the shortcut, select Properties, and then in Change Icon point to Pmod3.1/resources/icons/Pmod.ico.
