ACCESSING SECURITY KEYS NUMBERS 

 

The  security  codes  used  by  your  Racepak  DataLink  software  are  something  most  users  will  never  need  to  be 

concerned with. They were automatically loaded into your computer when you installed your software. However, there are 
a couple of situations where you may need to know your security key numbers. One is if you are trying to share your files 
with someone who also has the DataLink program in their computer. The other is if you are trying to open someone else’s 
run file on your computer. In either case the security keys for the data logger that recorded the run must be added to the 
computer  trying  to  view  the  run.  Finding  the  security  key  numbers  is  explained  below.  How  to  load  them  into  another 
computer is covered in the Quick Start page titled Adding Security Unlock Keys.  

Step 1: Open the Racepak DataLink program 

on the computer. 

Step  2: 

From the main menu bar at the top of the screen 

select  Security 

and then 

Show/  Edit  Security  Key 

 

List

. The Add Security Unlock Keys dialog box will then appear.  

Step  3: 

The  numbers  you  will  need  are  in  the  Currently  Installed  Serial  Numbers:  window  of  the  Add  Security 

Unlock  Keys  box.  They  are  in  the  columns  titled  HW  Type,  Serial  Number,  and  Unlock  Key. 

Write  these      

 

numbers down exactly as they appear

.  

HW  Type: 

denotes the model of recorder to which this security number was assigned. For example, it could be 

V300,  V300S,  V300SD,  or  V500.  For  your  information  the ‘S’  refers  to  a  recorder  that  was set up  to  upload  via 
serial cable, while those without the ‘S’ upload with a data cartridge. There may be more than one unlock key for 
the model of recorder you are accessing, so it is important that the next item, the serial number, be correct for the 
recorder whose files you wish to view. 

Serial  Number: 

This 4 digit number is the serial number of the recorder to which this security key is assigned. If 

you are unsure of the serial number it can be found on the sales invoice, on the black software licensing disc, or 
engraved on the underside of the recorder. 

Unlock Key: 

This exclusive 6 to 12 digit number is the key to opening the files. 

These are the numbers that will be required to share files from one recorder to another. Do not copy the number 
in the Level column. It will not be needed.  

To load this security Unlock Key into another computer see Adding Security Unlock Keys.
