All new Plaxis products since 2009 use the CodeMeter dongle:

• PLAXIS 2D V9 and later
• PLAXIS 3D 2010 and later
• 3DFoundation 2.1 and later
• 3DTunnel 2.4 and later

The drivers are available for 32-bits and 64-bits Windows.

Local installation: install drivers on the local computer
Network installation: install drivers on both server and local computer

Please read the installation guide for further details.

Note:
When updating the drivers, it could be that the CodeMeter key is not recognized. This can be seen in the system tray: the CodeMeter icon is grey and not green. In order to make it work again: first remove the CodeMeter key, and then reboot the computer/server. Finally, when the computer/pc is rebooted, plug in the CodeMeter key in the USB port.
