What is My Dongle Number and SMA Expiry Date?

The Volocity dongle/serial number is an 8-digit number programmed into the Volocity or Imaging License Server (ILS) dongle. Each dongle is also programmed with a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) expiry date.

Locating the Dongle Number:

  1. Physically Check the Dongle:

    • The dongle number is printed on the tag attached to the dongle.
    • For standalone dongles: It will be plugged into the workstation where Volocity is installed.
    • For License Server dongles (ILS dongles): It is usually plugged into a server on your local network.

  2. Verify Using Volocity:

    • Start Volocity.
    • Go to the Window menu and select Show Session Log.

The session log will display the dongle/serial number and the validity of your SMA.
