Quikscribe on all of these PC’s and which ever PC at the time has the the dongle
installed, Quikscribe will work. To install and use a single user dongle with

Multi-user Network Dongle
With a multi-user Network Dongle it is possible to license unlimited users
with a single dongle. As a result, the multi-user network dongle is the obvious
choice for Network administrators as only a single dongle is required, thus
reducing installation time and cost. Download QSNetDongleInstall.exe and install.
This utility is designed for system Administrators to request the number of
Quikscribe licenses they require from Quikscribe and below are the instructions
how to use this utility.
- Download, unzip and install this file HDD32.zip
to your server. Note: This driver software allows your server to
talk to the Network Dongle. - Download, unzip and install this file LM_Setup_Win32.zip
to your server. Note: This software continually runs as a small
communication service on the server so that Quikscribe users can
obtain licenses at runtime. - Download QSNetDongleUtility.exe
and copy this file into your QS Recorder or QS Player directory.
