Upgrading USB key based Polar software
If you are upgrading Polar product software to v21 or later and you are using a USB dongle with version 3.25, hardware 6.1 then there is a potential for compatibility issues on non-UK locale OS’s (e.g. French/US/Japanese). This is more likely to occur if you are also running other USB dongle software such as Gemalto, Revenera, Sentinel etc. You will notice that, no matter what instructions are followed, the Windows Device Manager will fail to show the Sentinel HL Key under the USB controller. If this is the case please contact us to request a new USB key with version 4.34, hardware 7.2

Prior key – version 3.25, hardware 6.1

Current key – version 4.34, hardware 7.2

Generating the license file

1) Browse to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Polar\Licences folder and run lmtools.exe.
2) Select the System Settings tab


Click on Save HOSTID Info to a File then email this file to polarcare@polarinstruments.com.
The license file will be returned to you within a working day.
