This method of licensing TransCAD will tie the USB key & serial number to that specific computer.
NOTE: The USB key does not contain the Transcad 7.0 software for installation. This is only a licensing USB dongle. To install and/or run the software, the USB licensing dongle needs to be plugged into your computer at all times.
If you haven't already downloaded the software, you must first map the network drive to this address: \\arch-data.austin.utexas.edu\TransCAD-Student. Instructions for this process can be found at the bottom of this page: Software Downloads.

NOTE: Caliper will only process the requests during normal business hours.
What has occurred in the past was each time a student checked out the USB key, or a USB was used in the computer classrooms, a new email registration request was sent in to Caliper to allow that USB key to be used during that time for TransCAD. This allowed the software to work, but also cause a great deal of confusion. Caliper provides documentation on moving or reauthorizing the Hardware Key here: http://www.caliper.com/support/blockupdate.htm AND will process the requests during normal business hours.
