Mount Image Pro™

Minimum recommended system requirements:

• i7 CPU
• Windows 7-10 Operating System
• 8 GB RAM

Mount image Pro should be run as local administrator to ensure sufficient permissions to access devices.

License Type

A Mount Image Pro license is a perpetual license*. The license does not expire.

A purchase includes a 12 months Software Maintenance and Support (SMS). SMS provides regular software updates and access to technical support. Additional SMS can be purchased and is added from the existing maintenance date.

Mount Image Pro Software Key (Virtual Dongle)

Mount Image Pro is sold with a software activation key (a virtual dongle). The key is provided electronically at the end of the purchase process.

The software key is hardware locked to a computer. It may be moved using the GetData License Manager (see below).

Wibu CodeMeter USB Activation Dongle (Wibu Dongle)

There is an option to add a Wibu Dongle to a Mount Image Pro purchase. The dongle contains a separate second license. A license on a dongle is easily transported from computer to computer. When inserted, the software is activated. When removed, the software returns to evaluation mode.

A Wibu Dongle can hold one or more licenses. It can be:

• Connected locally (i.e. plugged into the computer in use); or
• Connected to a remote computer and accessed over a network.

License Management

Wibu licenses are managed using the GetData License Manager software (download here). The License Manger is used to:

• View license information.
• Add a license to a Wibu Dongle.
• Rename a dongle.
• Apply firmware updates.

A lite version of Wibu CodeMeter software is installed with GetData products. A full version of CodeMeter User Runtime for Windows is available from the Wibu website. It can be used to:

• Configure a computer and dongle to be used as a license server;
• Configure a computer to be used as a network client;
• Rename a dongle, apply firmware updates, and other maintenance functions.

Learn more about license management here.

License Delivery

A Mount Image Pro software key is delivered electronically at the end of the purchase process.

Wibu Dongles are shipped worldwide by FEDEX. Web tracking information is provided for each shipment. Courier delivery costs are included in the checkout process.
