When installing the 4D Embroidery System onto Windows 7 computers, the dongle drivers may not initially work correctly, as the 4D Embroidery System installs a set of dongle drivers which were created before Windows 7.

Download and install the latest dongle drivers prior to installing the 4D Embroidery System. Failure to do this, may result in the "Dongle driver not found (E0009)" when you try to open the 4D modules.

Please follow the steps below to install the latest dongle drivers BEFORE installing the 4D Embroidery System

1. Download and install the latest Dongle Drivers.
2. Insert your 4D Dongle.
3. Install your 4D Embroidery System software (and all updates).
4. Open your 4D Embroidery System software to confirm that your dongle is working correctly.

If you installed the 4D Embroidery System software before installing the latest dongle drivers and if you experience problems such as the error message "Unable to start hasplms service..."; download and install the latest Dongle Drivers.
