I cant find my lock ID, how do I get my computer to recognize my dongle ?
In order to obtain your lock ID, your computer must recognize that your dongle is present. You might need to download the latest sentinel drivers for the dongle. You can find these on http//www.safenet-inc.com/support/tech/sentinel.asp Click on the Sentinel SuperPro link. Then, select Sentinel Protection Installer v7.2.2. This should update your system and allow your dongle to work. After you download the drivers, make sure the dongle is NOT attached when you install them. After you install them, restart your machine then re-attach the dongle.

If this does not fix the problem I would recommend contacting our technical support staff at 210-341-8444. Or email to tech@newtek.com. They are available Monday-Friday 9:30am-5:30pm Central Standard Time.



Where can I find the Product Lock ID/Dongle ID?
The Product Lock ID/Dongle ID number can be found when you open up Modeler, on the screen that informs you how many days you have left to register LightWave. The Lock ID number should be 4-5 numbers (no letters) and should look something like this: 64553. The Product Lock ID/Dongle ID IS NOT located on the dongle.
