Durango Installation

Install Hardware Key Driver

Before attaching your hardware key (dongle) to your computer, you must first download and install the Sentinel Pro driver. Instructions are provided below. After installing the driver, you may attach the hardware key.

If you do attach the key first, then Windows will likely assign to it an incorrect driver. To correct this situation, take the hardware key out of the USB port and then run the key driver cleanup utility (available on the Downloads page). Then reboot your computer.

3. Once the installer is done loading, click Next.
4. You must accept the terms and license agreement in order to complete the installation. Select the appropriate bubble and click Next.

8. The installer will alert you when the installation has completed and should confirm that it was successful. Click Finish.
