BrancheBuilders Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I had to purchase a new computer. I am using Chief Architect 9.0. Is there a way to use this without a port that the hasp fits? Can I use an adapter that the hasp can fit in? I am retired and don't do as much as I use to. Hoping to be able to continue to use this Version. Thank you!!

Back at Version 9 they may have been Serial Port not USB , but Serial Port to USB adapters are available , I'm just not sure if the Hasp will work with a Converter? Your new computer may have a Serial Port ? Mine does , (also known as a Com Port) , but not all modern computer do , but there are also Serial port add-in cards available which may work. M.

Joe_Carrick Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I know for a fact that version 9.5 used a USB Hasp. I've never heard of Chief having a Serial Port Hasp but I suppose it could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yes, in the "Olden Days" they did have serial port dongles (I never owned or used one) I still have a functioning 9.5 dongle that runs that version in Windows XP x32 on a separate HD on my PC that I maintain to run antique software, like Versions 7, 9 and 10. Versions 11-21 all run nicely within Windows 10 on my PC. Version 7 us a password version, Versions9-11 require USB dongles, the other versions I have use the modern online software lock system via the "Locker".
