If these steps don't work, you might need to check if your specific version of Autodata is compatible with your current Windows version (e.g., Windows 10 vs XP), as older versions often require specific compatibility patches to read dongles correctly. or instructions for enabling compatibility mode on your PC?

When you launch Autodata, the software performs a checksum: "Is the hardware ID inside this license file identical to the hardware ID broadcast by the USB dongle right now?"

: Some versions of Autodata use a "GetUid" tool to link the software to a specific PC. If you have moved the software to a new computer, you may need to run the GetUid-x64

: If the problem persists, reaching out to Autodata's support team or the dongle manufacturer's support can provide specific guidance. They can help verify if there's an issue with the dongle, the software installation, or if there's an update needed.

Before importing a new license, some users find success by removing old Autodata registry entries to ensure no conflicting hardware information remains.

Swapping a motherboard, CPU, or even some network adapters can change the unique Hardware ID the software uses to verify the dongle.
